severe weather can cause "unexpected delays". so can twerpy ground crew who drive their luggage trolleys underneath the wing (instead of around those rather inconspicuous orange cones), and rip off a chunk of the plane.
transiting abu dhabi airport -and it's unrelenting P.A. system- for half a day, is guaranteed to match every sleep deprived itinerant in the terminal's arabic language skills with those of a foreign service officer (rosetta stone certainly doesn't come with a bottle of duty-free glenfiddich single malt).
and by law, every flight over 6 hours must provide passengers with carbonated beverages, in-flight entertainment, and a cabin full of screaming 2 year olds.

I need that book.
What happened to your ruby slippers?
I will take the Glennfidich... is that named after a bird that can teach our grouchies to fly?
welcome back
it's by a couple of brits, but you can get the american version at borders/amazon etc. http://www.amazon.com/Just-Me-Everything-Shit-Insanely/dp/0446197882/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231189740&sr=1-1
unfortunately ruby slippers arent terribly practical for sprinting across sprawling international airports to make your flight, only to find out it has been delayed for 5 hours. ;)
not sure what the glennfiddich is named after, sounds like something a scot would slur while drunk though... :)
Glenfiddich is ' the valley of the stag/deer'
well now the label makes a whole lot more sense!
