I read Madame Bovary in its entirety, from beginning to end, in Ft. Lauderdale's airport. That might give you a small sense of how long I waited in limbo hell. It was a real test of my non-existent patience. Here's the schedule:
10:45 am Arrive at Ft. Lauderdale Airport
12:15 Flight to JFK
12:45 Flight delayed
6:05 Next flight
6:22 Flight Delayed
6:30 Board Plane
8:30 Plane goes back to gate
9:30 Plane departs Ft. Lauderdale
11:00 Put in holding pattern over Atlantic City
11:30 Plane lands
1:30 am Roll into bed
So while Flordia was fun, airport hell not so much. I read OK, People, Star, Cosmopolitan, Entertainment Weekly, and assorted decorating and cooking magazines. I paced in circles. I watched CNN. The only saving grace was when my plane got canceled, (yes out of the blue canceled) Delta gave me a business class seat on the next plane which meant seat 1C, endless coke, a full meal and a brownie!
