FDX/UPS: most insane layover overseas?
Who has a great story about a super long layover in a great city? Mine, many years ago, was 120 hours in Tokyo. 5 days! Granted, had it been in SYD or SIN it would have been twice as good 
Show n Tell time, let's hear how good you've had it.

A 4 day layover at CDG, where on the first full day we rented a car and drove to Normandy. An amazing place. Not a dry eye in the group. Then for the next two days played in a racquetball tournament at Forest Hills, the only racquetball club in all of France, and won it, thereby becoming the national French racquetball champion. That was great. But wait, there was that 3 day layover in Subic, where 2 of those days were spent at the Orchid Hotel in Angeles City, but that's another story.

5 days in TLV in '98 during the celebration for their 50th anniv. of the countrys founding. This was before people blew themselves up on buses and in cafes. Nothing but parties, airshows, fireworks, and large breasted women patrolling the beach in uniforms with Uzis. I still have dreams about those girls!

4 days in the Stanley in Nairobi. I could tell you about it, but what happens in Africa stays in Africa.
The captain was an old Marine - he took one look at the 50' mahogany bar in the Baden Powell room (built in 1902) and said, "Boys, you want me, you know where to find me...."
