Most of the time you will waste half of your life away alone in a concrete hotel room and think of all the fun your freinds are having at home.
On layovers you try to find a quiet place away from your own gates in the terminal to read left behind news papers. Great fun.

no wonder you quit flying. i have been to boston probably 100 times and never get tired of going out on the ferry or heading to the boston market and all the other cool stuff there is to do there. not saying everytime i go to boston i head out, some times its nice to relax. ask me how many times i have been to the museum at IAD, or the beach in ft meyers, or the mall in washington, the beach in pensacola, sixflags in dallas, the hershey factory near mdt, and the list goes on, and on... these are things that people can only dream of. OH AND GUESS WHAT,, my WIFE HAS BEEN TO ALL THOSE PLACES WITH ME, and we have a great time. i told my buddy who is a doctor that i was going up to toronto and had a 22 hour layover, we went to the needle, hung out downtown, got some sushi, went to the pier and had a good time. he told me that he hates going on vacations because when he gets back he will have such a back log of patients that his usual 12 hour day will be a 14-16 one for at least a month. yeah my friend is really having a good time at home.
as for long sits in airports if it is 5 hours the company has to give us a hotel room. if its less than that then i go down into the ops area, read my book, watch some tv, and a lot of times just take a nap.
come on skyhigh, everytime you say something you show us a little more of your personallity, i bet flying a 2 day with you seemed like a 5 day.
