Read this if you want to hear me b*tch and complain...
« on: June 03, 2006, 04:19:16 am »
I'm writing this from the Winngate Inn, just outside Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport.

I'm in hell.

So far I've been traveling for about 30 hours straight with the only sleep I've had being the crick in my neck I recieved on the 3.5 hour flight from Newark.

I am cranky, smelly, and tired   exhausted dead.

In total I've been delayed more than 8 hours, and I have yet to make the longest part of my journey...Houston to Tokyo. A 19.5 hour flight.

Help me.

I didn't want to hear you ---smurfette--- and complain, but read it anyway. The longest travel I ever did was 24 hours and it was hell. I hope you can survive without (severe) sequels, good luck.

Try driving from Virginia to Phoenix, AZ...  I did that 2 weeks ago.  One day I drove 988 miles...  now that sucks.

At least when you're driving, you have the option to pull over and take a catnap.

Its a little more challenging trying to convince the pilot of a 767 to "pull over" 30,000 feet over the Atlantic.

Ugh! I've been here for only 3 hours.

Just enough time to get cleaned up. Now I have to go back to the airport to do the "bovine shuffle" and get fondled by someone with a double-digit IQ earning a tripple-digit income.

*Sigh*...and I'm still wearing the same underwear I was 2 days ago

Umm... if you're not flying the plane, I think you can take a nap...  :dizzy:

People who sleep tick me off with their smug sleeping.  ---smurfing--- sleepers.

So, did you get there, or did you start halucinating from lack of sleep and fall off the airplane?

Because I know everyone here is concerned for my wellbeing, I just wanted to say that yes, I landed here safely at about 930 pm local time (+10GMT).

Yes the flight sucked...

No, I didnt get any sleep...

And damnit, they were out of the inflatable Skyrest Travel Pillows at the airport! :hissy: :badmood:
