i spent a lot of hours in airports over the last bit of my life (read last two weeks)... i spent 4 hours in christchurch airport on the way home cuz that was just the way the flights went but on the way back to dunedin was a different story altogether... it was on fri and i wasnt supposed to have to spend too much time in the airports but i dropped my little cousin off to catch his flight in the morning and as he was an unaccompanied minor i couldnt just up and leave him there, that would have been plain rude but also against the rules of unacompanied minor travelling so we had to arrive half an hour before his flight and stay til the plane had taken off. his plane was late taking off too so i spent over an hour there that time and the palmy airport is not that interesting... then i had a lunch date with a friend and was late getting home to pack so i packed in a huge hurry and went back to the airport to check in for my flight... turns out i needn't have hurried, before i could even check in the airline had announced they had cancelled my flight... mechanical problems apparently stopped the plane arriving from auckland so there were no spare planes to take us to christchurch... they said hold on ten minutes and we'll let you know alternative arrangements... meanwhile ideas of bus-ing us all to wellington and flying us from there or flying us in the morning and the like were being tossed around by the staff while i was just thinking i'm not going to make it to the dance rehearsal tonight, and what if i dont make it to work tomorrow... anyway they then told us after we'd all been in the airport for another hour at least that they'd fly us from palmy to welly and welly to dunedin so i spent another few hours in airports that day... but there was a live band at the welly airport which was cool... anyway i better keep moving, i have dance tonight and i'm really looking forward to it cuz i haven't danced in ages.
