I've been stuck like this in San Francisco International Airport before, when I was a kid. My brother TJ was, too, and he found a little bit of money by checking phone machine's change returns. Hell, this time I found a nickel on the floor. I'm following in his footsteps!
Strangely, I've been reasonably OK with the flight cancellation. I actually got more frustrated (grumble grumble) when I tried -- twice -- to call my folks to let them know, and something cut me off, played me a "Thank you for your message" recording, then disconnected me. I'm calling from a pay phone using a calling card when this happens. You do NOT want to make a pay phone call with a calling card; it vacuums up minutes.
So I used The Internet. (Gmail, specifically. So: I REALLY REALLY THANK YOU,
zarhooie, FOR THAT ACCOUNT!) They'll know. And I'll go. Eventually.Grumble...
