Mayday! May 1, 2008
Quick! It’s an emergency! You just got an urgent call about a family emergency and had to rush to the airport with barely time to grab your wallet and your passport. But now, you’re stuck at the airport with nothing to read. What do you do??
And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your bookbag, or the book next to your bed. You were . . . grocery shopping when you got the call and have nothing with you but your wallet and your passport (which you fortuitously brought with you in case they asked for ID in the ethnic food aisle). This is hypothetical, remember….
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
And also–Don’t forget, folks–sometimes WordPress’s spam filter seems to decide that a lot of perfectly valid answers are spam. I periodically check throughout the day for lost comments. But, PLEASE–if your comment doesn’t show, don’t post it four more times in the hopes that one of them will go through. If WordPress thinks you’re spamming, it’s not going to put any of them through until I tell it, and by then, I’ve got four times more comments to go through than I would have had….


Did I really make it in first! One advantage of being Australian I guess
Here’s mine! I think my first reaction is the most likely…

This one was easy! My answer is up here

Actually, at an airport I almost always buy a huge pile of magazines - practically the only time I do read ‘em. I don’t know why. It’s just an essential part of the travel experience. I don’t even bother to pack books in my carry-on!

And if you get carded for buying *food* where you are, it’s time to move to a freer place. =)

What Would You Do?

Let’s hope this NEVER really happens!
They usually have a shop that sells books and magazines somewhere in the airport. That’s where I’d go, they must have *something* I’d be interested in reading. If not, out with the trusty palm to play games.
You can find my answer at http.//www.charlandme.blogspot.com/ Have a great week….

Well, since I have my wallet with me then I must have cash or credit cards with me. So, I would find a nice shop that has books and/or crossword puzzle books and purchase a few. Maybe I will finally get in some relax time

I’ve posted my answer.
Something like this happened to me the other day so I’ve related my experience! Answere here:
http://sparklya.blogspot.com/2008/05/airport-emergency-what-to-read.html
This was fun!
I immediately head into withdrawal, tremors wrack my body and desperation sets in when I realize that I’m bookless. Only by heading to the closest book seller at the airport and surrounding myself with “friends” does the recovery process start. If I happen to be reading a current best seller I’ll simply replace it. I have no problem buying a 2nd copy as it’s for a good cause. If I can’t replace my current reading selection I will start seeking out favorite authors in hopes that I can find a treasure in the form a book that I haven’t read yet. If no replacement copy or favorite author I’ll take a chance on a new-to-me author that I’ve been wanting to try and just haven’t gotten around to due the towering TBR piles that have taken over my home office. As a last resort I’ll buy a magazine. I can’t leave empty handed. I must have something to read.
Argh! Nightmare situation!
