2. How's your butt doing?

Those airport seats are hell on asses and backs.

Hope you can take a long walk, or have something to read and people to talk to and all that.

[Mz Pip]

6. Butt okay

neck not doing so well. If the plane had taken off on time, I'd be home now.

The plane neede a part from Honolulu. The part missed the last flight from Honolulu so we are waiting for the next plane to bring it.

At least there is a wireless connection here.

They should give you at least $20...Especially since airport food is so freaking expensive!

12. That's great!

If you get stuck for 7 hours every time you fly, just think of all the free rides you'll accumulate!

[helderheid]

16. COOL! We didn't even get an apology! What airline?
