    I spend ALOT of time in airports. I am armed with reading material - newspapers, books and magazines. And a laptop. And a cell phone.

    And I find a nice quiet space....

    The only caution is....don't go to a place so quiet you don't hear the announcements! (From personal - not so good experience! )

    Good advice.

    Well, they just announced that all flights are canceled for the rest of the day, so I'm heading home to pet some kitties. They'll be surprised to see me so soon. Then, we'll head back to the airport tomorrow (hopefully, 3rd time will be the charm) to try again...........

    Sign language? Cool! I know it. I am hearing impaired, after all. My boyfriend and I sign to each other quite a bit, but he signs MORE than I do. (learned on his own, too)

    I always bring my Ipod to listen to music if I end up trapped at the airport.. a book or two, mainly of what I'm interested into, such as digital photography, etc.

    Larry is very patient with me. I once tried to sign "I have a cat named Halo". He looked very puzzled. Turns out I had signed "I have a tiger named Valo".

    Haha. Cute. Mike tried to sign the "I love you" hand sign, but ended up signing the "bull ----" sign.. I had to pick on him for that. I know he meant well.
