VA's white Xmas

So my entry for random IN experience of the day:

I had a mtg scheduled in greece.  The timing sucks and I tried to get out of it, but no dice .  So I show up at 5am at the Naples airport. Naples to Greece by way of Munich. Yeah.   Anyway, get to Munich and get a frantic call, meetings cancelled.  Ok.   

Should be a flt bk, or at least a Rome connection,right?!  Wrong. Nada until 730pm.

Would a FML be totally whiney at this point?

  • Whine away, then find an airport bar.  That's why they put bars in airports, right?

    Ironically, I almost spelled whine 'wine'.  2 mini gluwheins and a med lager into it.  I did ditch the airport for a couple hrs in favor of the Christmas markets. No must haves, but it at least kept me vaguely sober... I mean 14hr in an airport... I could have driven (minus the gluwhein, of course)

    Oh so glad you got out of the airport but I'm super jealous that you got to go to a Christmas market--I want to go so badly!  I saw Athens on a 12 hour layover!  Ditched the airport, took the train into town, did the Acropolis, ate spanikopita, and bought some shoes!  Sometimes layovers are good :)  How much longer do you have?

  • Only an hour and a half til the flight.  Not so bad.  Other than booze and carbs-be-damned pretzels, shopping wasn't too bad--- wooden dog ornament or I guess figurine.  It's for a manger scene (which we don't do), but I found the concept of dogs in manger scenes amusing.  I know seek help.  Anyway, that and two phone charms for friends, of course they're IT leather.  What?  I'm supporting a global Eco omy.  And finally, the one accessory that's been standing be me and Martha Stewart meets Franklin Covey levels of organization... a travel wallet thing for your passport, ect.  I've lived a full and complete albeit disorganized life, so likely a bit of an impulse buy.  But come on, the Bravarians were so warm and welcoming w the gluwhein, how could I say no?  Self restraint?  Be serious
