I was holidaying in New York and Boston
with the then girlfriend in the late 90s and as a treat I decided that I would order a big stupid stretch limo to ferry us to the airport from the hotel instead of using the free bus. Couldn't really afford the $200 or so but you know how it is wehn you are young and stupid. Up at half five in the morning on the day of our departure barely awake and a call comes through the the room "Mr No 5 your limo has arrived". Cool. Bob on down, girlfriend suitably impressed, we drive to the airport, sitting on a packed freeway with some music playing, the aircon on and a glass of champers. We arrive at the airport and send the limo guy on his way with a largish tip. Our plane has been cancelled because of bad weather in Boston. Next flight is the day after. Took a taxi back to the hotel.

So to recap: I spent $200 odd dollars to sit in a car on a freeway for 45 minutes.

Just be glad
there was traffic, or it might have only been 15 minutes!

Are you a glass half full type person?
I suppose it does seem better when you put it like that.
