We were swapping war stories of delays. The woman on the right was in the air on 9/11 returning to the USA from the UK and was turned around and stuck in Manchester for several days. We endeds up grabbing some wine at an airport bar. Her take on Texas wine: "it tends to taste like you're licking concrete."

The man in the middle was on a flight to south africa that had to land in the Central African Republic, where they were held hostage for six hours due to non-payment for fuel. Srsly

That's too bad to hear about the flights being delays and I cant even imagine being held hostage for non fuel payment. Did everyone on the plane have to cover the cost?

I love to travel! I always meet the most interesting people. One time on the train to Philly, PA from Richmond, Va I got totally hammered with four other people on the train and we all have stayed in touch and ended up traveling at the same times to have the company. Train are by far my favorite.
