Waiting out the wind


I'm waiting for the first of 10 flights and already there's an hour delay. Is this how my long-anticipated vacation to New Zealand and Australia will be? Say it ain't so. Southwest should set up an airport bar so I can use my drink tickets while I wait.

I've been so excited to hike the Fiordlands on New Zealand's south island and dive the Great Barrier Reef that now I'm just tired. In fact, that airport massage bar is really tempting right now. I wonder how you can relax when you know other passengers are starring at you as someone kneeds your back?

I am bringing with me the most obvious girly travel accessories: a copy of the teen hit "Twilight" and Professor Layton and the Curious Villiage puzzle game for my Nintendo DS.
