I am stuck in the Washington Dulles airport for four hours. The name of the above pictured store is AMERICA and is staffed by a polite, young Indian man. I think I'm going to have to assuage my anxiety with a Wetzel Pretzel dog. Then I'll finish the Michelle Bachmann article I'm reading in the New Yorker over drinks in the airport bar. Multiple ones.
Safe trip home. You may need more than a few drinks after that article...

I feel your pain. I was once stuck at Dulles (back when it was fairly new and the road there was nothing but farmland) for five hours one December waiting for a flight to L.A. to meet my soon-to-be husband. My/our worst experience was 7 hours on a United flight that was supposed to go to Hawaii. Instead it taxied to Shamburg (or so it seemed) and sat there. We never got off the ground!! Hope you get home soon. Please review the Bachman article. I don't think I can read it!
ReplyDeleteBest,

Oh dear. Sounds like you might want to make those drinks doubles. Save the bartender some trips.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to meet for drinks this week if you're here?
ReplyDeleteBottoms up, I say.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of that same article. Definitely felt like I needed a drink or something after that one.
ReplyDeleteHow sad is my life that four hours to read in an airport (assuming the kids aren't with you) sounds like heaven to me?
ReplyDeleteIt's time to board already? Damn!
Safe travels!
Hope you get home soon...and take a nice long bath to get all the airport "icky" off of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about airports? They are like a mall only more evil. Go find a book shop and buy something trashy, THEN go find alcohol.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you read about that woman when you are already upset! Drink and be merry.
ReplyDeleteARGH! Lots of drinks is really the only way to go. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I have been stuck there. More than once. I say drink up!
ReplyDeleteOh, you're already home?? No drinks then, I'd say. Glad you made it back.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I got hooked up with an on-line Indian dating service and i keep getting e-mails. Were they cute? Or at my age, more appropriately, did they have a pulse?
