nothing

Call those expecting me and tell I will be late as I am stranded. Then find out how long it will be before I get the next flight. If enough time is there I might even go back to the city and do some sightseeing. Or I might simply doze off on a comfortable place in the lounge asking the airlines people wake me up when it is time for checking in. When things go beyond our control it is best to take it easy.

Go and talk to people, see if anyone wants to play hacky sack ;0)

Do I speak their language? If so, I'm o.k. If not, I've got problems! As long as I had identification, credit cards and/or money I'd be fine. Now, if I were stranded having lost my memory, that would not be good! :)

I would hang out at the USO if they have one...if not I will be sitting at the bar.

I would get to know the local establishments in the airport.
-
Call the bus and train station to see if they have something going my way soon.
-
amuse myself and others

Been there, done that. Stuck overnight in St. Louis-AFTER everything (food/bars/concessions) was closed up. Set up camp on some bench chairs-slept the night and got away on a 6 am flight the next morning. Quite an adventure

hang out in the book store :)
-
wheelchair races
-
purse bingo

Go to the VIP lounge. Most American Express Cardholders can get in for free.
-
buy candy for everyone elses kids and watch the adults go crazy.
-
newspaper snowball war...all adults are acceptable casulties of war.

I always take puzzle books and regular books to read so I guess that would keep me busy for a while. Depending on how long I was stranded, I guess I would try to find an area motel and if I couldn't I would sleep in the airport their or go back to my car and sleep in it (reclining seats). I would eat myself into a heart attack and then who knows.
