Any suggestions for what to do at an airport for 5 1/2 hours?

I missed my flight by 3 minutes. I got stuck in the tsa line, I was completly clueless about the process. I got to the gate at 5:52, the door to the plane closed at 5:50 and they DO NOT open the door once its closed. So here I sit until 11:45. Not a good start to my already long and stressful day traveling from coast to coast.

Go through the airport, approach people and tell them you are a representative of CafeMom and you would like to interview them for posting on the website.

just a thought ...

Go to the food area, get a cup of coffee, get a book to read and chill out. I know it feels stressful now. It will be worse later. I remember when my mom died. You will need all your energy for the funeral.

I completely forgot about that. You can't post pics in Answers. That's a Groups feature. Sorry.

Groups have an option "Post a pic"...I think...
You take the picture then send it via email to an email account Cafemom creates for you to send your pics and post them in Groups. Groups only.
