From my luxurious seat on the floor of the Vancouver Airport

Well after 6 hours of sitting in the airport trying to come up with exciting things to do, getting into planes, 2 attempts of ACTUALLY landing, getting out of planes and people buzzing around me, I AM STILL IN VANCOUVER!!! I may never make home again! Damn weather.

My first attempt consisted of sitting in the plane for about ½ an hour, driving around on the runway for a bit and then a return to the lovely airport! New tickets and a 2 hour wait! So I search for exciting entertainment but find nothing but a strawberry smoothie and a trashy magazine. Blaaaa.........

But good news I hop onto the next flight and we actually take off and speed though the air to our destination! We are landing! I can see the runway! I am home! Wait........We are turning around. Too foggy and rainy! So I'm headed back to Vancouver! Get off the plane. Once again get new tickets and need to wait 2 more hours! O Joy!

So I decide to venture out and find food, glorious FOOD! Subway! Stuff my face and for a moment feel better. Till the damn security people confiscate my water bottle i got to keep me going. YES I HAVE A BOMB IN MY BOTTLE! So now I sit and wait for the moment of truth and destiny! Will this last flight make it or will we have to turn around. And try again in the morning. I think I have cabin fever and am starting to hallucinate! Must get out! Must find bed! Well they are calling my flight AGAIN so here i go. Wish me luck. Will i find my home tonight? Or a lonely hotel? Come on airplane! You can do it!!!

Airports should dispense valium with any layover that exceeds an hour. 2 hours in the Van airport borders on cruel and unusual treatment.
