Airport hotels exist only in the State of Limbo

There are over 2 million people flying commercially everyday. You would think that the odds of having your flight delayed overnight would be relatively small...right?? Well, the odds change considerably when you travel with my sister. She just can't seem to leave Britain on her scheduled flight - so as I was joining her....
It was interesting though. I really didn't mind the delay that mauch - at least not compared to some people. The last time I had delayed flights I was flying home for a funeral, and I was so alone. It was almost a pleasant experience in comparison. So they put us up at the Hilton - which as it turns out is no great shakes. We had a nice dinner - I enjoyed an incredibly lengthy hot shower... and woke up at 4 am to catch a flight to Glasgow (where we ran into the Celtic's FC - oh yes we did) and then waited around for 6 hours until our next delayed flight :D
really could have been worse. Oh sure we had to get the horrible seats right next to the toilets so everyone hangs out at your seat and dead cat like smells ocassionally waft in our direction... but again, I've had worse flights. And sure they broke the wheels off my new suitcase, and made us pay for extra luggage only after they also made us check carry-ons - but again, I've had worse flights.

At least all our luggage arrived in the end. It didn't on our flight from Rome to the UK. It seems that whenever I fly mine is the luggage that gets lost. So poor Christina, travelling with me had hers lost as well. It's always something.

Yep, over 2 million flying commercially everyday, and somehow we get all the adventures... ever feel like that?
Here's the other thing I noticed...Airport hotels... are the same the world over, as are airports. Once you are inside you could be anywhere, and nowhere. Spending so many days in an airport reminds me of that man that lived at the Airport - you know the one they based the movie the terminal on... what a life. What a strange world it would be to live your life in. It's so intense and so dull all at the same time. Crazy.
