UPDATE: The hotel accommodations I’ve been given have also made the whole airline debacle somewhat less painful. Check the room I’m staying in at the Sofitel Hotel. Ridiculous.

You’ve heard those nightmare airline travel stories from one friend or another at some point. You’ve heard how they aimlessly wandered around airports for hours on end waiting for their connecting flight. You’ve heard how they barely missed that connecting flight because their incredibly stupid credit card company put a freeze on their account because it was used overseas even though they told them before they left the U.S. that they were going to be using the card in a different country. Yeah, well add me to that list. Here’s my visual account of 5 airports over the past 2 days.

Aeroporto G. Marconi di Bologna (Bologna, Italy to Frankfurt, Germany): With hours to kill and hundreds of Beautiful Losers stickers handy, I decided to do some International promotion. Boredom=vandalism.

Frankfurt Airport (Frankfurt, Germany to Toronto, Canada): More of the same.

Pearson International Airport (Toronto, Canada to Washington D.C.): At least I got to see the Lakers win game one of their series while enjoying the most delicious Canadian beer I’ve ever had.

Dulles International Airport (Washington D.C. to Beijing, China): Barack Obama is my homeboy.

Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing, China): A cute smiling Chinese girl waiting for you at the gate while holding up a sign with your name on it makes it all worth while.
