Things To Do While Stranded In An Airport...

OK, Amy and I arrived here at 12:15 PM because the hotel wouldn't allow us to keep the room for an extra hour...

and after 2 big delays with the flight, here I am 8 full hours later with nothing to show for my time...

Things learned in the last 8 hours:

1) Flying Fish Cutters at the Airport are BAD NEWS...
2) Air-conditioning only works if the doors are kept shut…
3) Duty Free Jewelry isn’t cheap
4) Airports make for great people watching
5) After visiting the restroom a few times, it’s quite obvious where the employees tend to gather
6) Barbados lets you walk around the airport with open containers
7) The roof of the Barbados airport is really just a big tent
8) You can only play SIMS Stables for so long before you want the horse to die…
9) Amy can read a 345 page book in 2 hours (no lie)...and then proceeds to buy more (with our money)
10) Online gaming sites aren’t meant to gather the attention of people who have the time to play…only the people who are truly procrastinating working or writing a paper
11) I clearly don’t have enough fishing websites to look at
12) Yes, I watched my dog via the webcam at the Barkley today…for more then 5 minutes
13) Barbadian’s tend to frown when people put their feet up on coffee tables
14) It’s amazing the lack of communication that takes place in the airline industry (example: our flight was supposed to leave Kingston at 2PM This afternoon. Supposedly it’s en route and due to be here by 9, 45 minutes away…but no one can seem to confidently say that the flight HAS left, or what gate we should be looking at.)
15) In the airport here in Barbados, the gate numbers change (i.e. Gate 9 sometimes gets changed to gate 1)
16) Playing online fishing games just plain sucks
17) Wives (especially new ones) tend to get angry when you do anything abnormal with your wedding ring (flip it in the air like a coin, tap it repatedly on a table, etc.more updates on future findings to come)

Clearly it should be Miller Time...but everything has been closed up...
