7 lessons learned in a Las Vegas airport

Posted in General on the September 2nd, 2006

  1. Due to the liquid ban there’s now a Starbucks in every checkpoint area. You certainly sure showed us, terrorists.
  2. If you want a non fat latte be prepared to repeat yourself six times.
  3. Bit Torrent works in the terminal. But that guy behind you is probably an MPAA spy so don’t try anything sneaky, bub.
  4. You’re much more likely to make a new business contact sitting beside somebody and sharing power outlet than at the airport lounge.
  5. If you start playing World of Warcraft you will meet at least four people that sign and “wish they thought of that”.
  6. On the red eye people prefer to complain how hung over they are instead of using 4 hours to sleep it off.
  7. Even in Vegas the most unruly obnoxious people STILL come from Oshawa.

Lesson learned: book ahead. Procrastination isn’t worth a long layover stuck in the only boring building in Las Vegas. It was good to be back in the homeland for a little bit but now duty calls and so does my pillow. Expect some more Working Abroad updates next week.
