A window is far superior, fuck having people climb over you for 5 and a half hours.
― Ed, Sunday, 29 June 2008 14:49 (fifteen years ago) link
A small price to pay, really.

Lol tru but I almost went postal on the dude selling credit cards that wouldn't stop harassing me every time I walked by and then giggling about it with his coworker. Very professional. Joke's on you dude, I'm going to. Hawaii and you're in an airport selling credit cards.

i have 8 hours in the reykjavik airport! it is a decent airport, but not big. i ended up taking a really long walk around the parking lot in circles, pushing my luggage trolley and talking to myself while staring at a weird sculpture on top of a pile of rocks). then i discovered the free wireless. probably could've gone into the city and stored my stuff at the bus station, but i'm preparing for a summer of physical labor with EXTREME SLOTH.
― Maria, Sunday, 29 June 2008 20:49 (fifteen years ago) link
8 hour layover in reijavik airport = trip to the blue lagoon, natural hot springs about half way to the town. You can rent everything, towels etc.
― Ed, Sunday, 29 June 2008 20:59 (fifteen years ago) link
i heard that but i have nowhere to put my luggage, would have to unpack a 21-kilo backpack to find my swimsuit, and don't know where this blue lagoon IS. also, i'm really lazy, and haven't read my archaeological field manual like a good dig volunteer.
― Maria, Sunday, 29 June 2008 22:26 (fifteen years ago) link
go ask someone what it took to get all that wood in the reykjavik airport!

Dealt with someone similar in Denver. A tool, of course.
I was in Phx's airport two days after tehresa, and yet it was not that bad. Wasn't GREAT but wasn't bad.

For a megasprawl, DEN is pretty nice. There was a bickering couple in the security line who were co-workers it seemed like. Everything they did was augmented with complaints, meeting unpreparedness, misplaced documents, etc. I wanted to shout "would you guys hurry up and have sex already!" at them.

OK, here is the plan for tonight. I have been informed that I probably would have gotten a better flight from an alley bum, but hey, it was (relatively) cheap.
Denver to Las Vegas 9:20pm-10:15pm
Las Vegas to Philadelphia 10:55pm-7:30am
Philadelphia to Ithaca 9:30am-11:15am
I'm going to play $1.50 worth of slots in Las Vegas.
