If your flight is delayed twice you will need a good friend...
... to have a strong drink or two with.
If your flight is cancelled and you are forced to stay alone in a hotel and have dinner solo you will need a drink and about $80 to cover cab fare and dinner.
If the next day, after getting up at 3:30 am, your flight is cancelled again you will need a blanket/pillow and an empty row of seats so you can become one of those not-so-happy-stuck-at-the-airport people you see on the news.
You will also need to try your hardest to find a decent lunch that does not go over the $6 voucher the airlines so generously supplied you with for your "inconvenience". May I suggest a styrofoam carton packed full of mystery meat smothered in BBQ sauce? I have never been so thankful to have a malt beverage to wash my food down! I do believe it's one step above prison food!
You will also need the ability to stifle your laughter upon learning the only difference between flying with the common folk and first class is about $200 and the ability to walk on the plush carpet on the other side of the red rope!
When you're finally in the air you will need to understand that even though it's only 6 am it is 5 o'clock somewhere and not
And finally you will need large quantities of hand sanitizer because you just never know what you may come in contact with!

That is awesome! Loving the sanitizer would make a good gag/joke gift!
The sanitizer had me laughing. It's funny because it's true!
Nice photojournalism of your airport misery.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You poor thing! But still, so ridiculously sad. I am glad that I could be there for the first 2 hours of your misery, and I am sorry that I couldn't do anything to help for the next 22. :(
So glad you're home safely.
how were you able to make your flight delays sound kinda fun??
i think i need a vacation.
Hahaha! Ok, I know this is no laughing matter, but seriously, only you! You poor thing! I'm just glad you made it home!! I tend to get delayed/re-routed/stuck when I travel.
And umm, what is up with that hand sanitizer?! Where the hell was that?!
OMG! Where can I buy some of that handsanitizer? Hilarious!
Consider the early morning beer as hand sanitizer for your insides. I like to keep mine really clean and often use one of the alcohol based cleansers.
I like what Lori said about beer being hand sanitizer for your insides, haha so true.
$6 voucher for lunch??? Where on earth can you get a good lunch for $6?
I would've needed a good amount of booze to get me through that whole ordeal (and it looks like you had almost enough)...but from what I hear, the trip was worth it!
I need that hand sanitizer!!!!
So so sorry that you had so much trouble getting home. You handled it really well!
Our worst experience with flight delays has been in Atlanta. Not a fan of that airport.
Glad you finally made it home. At least the time between airports was fun.
Bwhahahahahaha!
At least you had great friends who kept you entertained with frequent tweets and texts, right? And you weren't in danger of a twister so that's a positive. And you didn't contact a deadly disease from the shower of the hotel...or at least not that we know of.
I'm sorry it took you so long to get home. I blame Viv. LOL!
I have that pic of the sanitizer too. So funny!!!
What a great vacation!
xoxo
Agh!! Talk about the pits!! Glad you are finally home where you belong!! :) Its great to look back on it though and make a great post that is really sad turn out really funny!
WHERE did you get that hand sanitizer???!!!!
I know that wasn't Corky's BBQ you were talking about! Why didn't you get a picture of the Elvis purses! I was hopin you would!! Did you have to spend the night in Memphis? I could have had my sister come get you!!!
Holy heck what a horrible experience! I don't think I'd be going anywhere for a very long time after that :(
I'm so glad you were prepared with the "Maybe You Touched Your Genitals" hand sanitizer...who knew that would come in handy so quickly?!
Sorry you got the shaft on so many levels. It's always horrible when you realize you could have driven home in the amount of time you had to wait at the airport. Not to mention the yucky food and bad hotel.
Parts of this were sofa kind funny though.
Bahahaha...about the last picture.
I'm sorry you had a rough time getting home - but what a fantastic time you ladies had together.
I am so beyond jealous. I wish I could have been there! Someday!
Oh my gosh, that sounds HORRIBLE!!! Glad you made it home..finally!!
OK - I'm Googling the hand sanitizer so I can buy some!!! You know, the special genital kind ;) Glad you had a blast and eventually made it home same and sound!
How frustrating! Was this at DFW? We were stuck at Intercontinental for about 16 hours (Houston) April last year. That's what we get for trying to save money and fly stand-by on buddy passes!
I see it was Austin, not DFW(Dallas/Fort Worth). Why the plane delays?
That is awful! I can't believe it took you so long to get home. But at least you got the free booze in first class??
