Date: 2010-12-24 01:34 am (UTC)My worst travel nightmare was being caught on Christmas Eve for a 6 hour overdue flight in Chicago en route from London to where I was spending Christmas with a mate in Omaha. Wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had such a migraine that by the time we boarded and they announced turbulance, all I could think was PLEASE LET THE PLANE GO DOWN AND PUT ME OUT OF THIS MISERY.
Have been worried about all you guys trying to get into/out of/around Europe this Christmas - am seeing so many messages about delays etc (even my BIL was delayed by the flow-on effect in getting back into and then over from Singapore), but yours seems to have been the worst.
