Five great things about airports:
1. People watching. You see expert travellers, bag ladies (carrying big purses etc - too much stuff, lol), athletes, celebrities, and wonderful family reunions.
2. Candy stores. Where else do you see such great and colourful treats in one place? Pick up a treat for your hosts, and one for yourself.
3. They are safe. Consider the security and the lack of random people hanging around... very safe.
4. Time. Time to spend sitting quietly, sipping a coffee and watching movies or reading. It's refreshing to have a "forced" time to sit peacefully. It's a nice break from the ordinary.
5. Wine and magazines. You can have a drink, or two.... heck, you're not driving. Go for it! And where, other than an airport, do you ever see such a vast selection of magazines anymore? Wine and a magazine... the perfect combo.
Very optimistic view, and I agree there are a lot of things to do if you're stranded in an airport.. Even for a few hours.
