Going home on military leave from Louisiana. Only took about $20.00 in cash in case I wanted to get a snack and drink during layover. Get to Atlanta Airport. Huge storms were going through. All flights cancelled u til following morning. Since weather related, best airline would do was half off cab ride and half off hotel room. I did not have enough for that. So I spent over 12 hours in Atlanta Airport. Nothing like getting bizarre stares from midnight janitorial staffs because I was jogging through airport just to have something to do.

Well to be fair, you don't really look like a jogger.....They probably thought you were practicing for a dine 'n dash.

I was on a flight from Houston to Newark and had a premonition and told everyone it was going to crash. They thought I was hysterical, not laugh hysterical, slap me in the face hysterical because I was yelling "we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die!!!!!" Several people believed me and got off the flight with me. The flight arrived in Newark on time without incident and those people that got off with me hunted for me all night but they got runover by a luggage cart. Poor things, they should have stayed on the plane.

On my flight home from Istanbul, I had to sit next to some (bleepity bleep) who was sick as a dog, hacking and coughing the whole way. There was no other seat available. I nearly asked for a parachute so that I could jump out. I was so upset. And, of course, the dirtbag did get me sick and make me miss days of work after I had already been on vacation.

I'm so sorry, RC. I laughed my butt off through the entire story. I could visualize you as Steve Martin and the sick guy was John Candy. (It's so much easier when it isn't you.)

I had the good fortune of flying the day the boy in Denver decided to lie and say he was adrift in an air balloon. Air travel was screwed up all day across the country. After an entire day of air ports, cancelled flights, tarmacs (One guy called his wife. He wished her a good life and told her to find someone that could make her happy. He said he was being held hostage by the airlines. - Was funny to me.) and occasionally in the air, I was sitting in an airport about to cry. We were on standby for the last flight out that evening. We made the last flight but that day was a horrible start to my vacation. The little bass turd should be doing hard labor in a concentration camp.

Back in College, me and my two friends went down to Cozumel for our first real parentless vacation. None of us had much money but the flight, hotel, taxes and scuba was already paid up front.

We went down there with maybe $500 between the three of us for 7 days. Needless to say, we spent most of it the first couple of days. It was no fun divvying the rest up for food and beer to last until we headed home. We met some dinks(double income no kids) from LA at Carlos & Charlies our first night and we dove with them the next day and throughout the week.

We became pretty close and they tried to lookout for us knowing we had nothing left. Fed us some and bought the cervezas.

We got down to zero dineros with almost two days left, so we decided to fly out early. We were on buddy passes from one of the guy's girlfriend who worked for Continental Airlines.

Basically, we kept getting bumped trying to leave early and spent the next 30 hours living in the very small airport :laugh:

Many passengers going through felt sorry for us sleeping against a wall, we got quite a bit of food through pity :cool:

My friend kept in touch with the dinks, who were 20 years older than us, and we sent them $1500 a few years later once we saved up what we owed them :thumbup:. They were surprised three young troublemakers would pay up without ever being asked, so they tore up the check!
