wanderlust

Last year I got stuck in the Miami airport with our photo crew. After eight hours of boredom, we made a list of the top 25 things to do when you’re stranded at an airport. Needless to say, a few cocktails definitely helped our creative ideation.

Without further ado, here’s the list (in no particular order):

• Get drunk 
• Set up an iPod and speakers and have a dance party
• Host a group nap
• Try to create a costume out of the contents of your suitcase/carry-on
• Stand in Duty Free and pretend to be a perfume girl/guy
• See how many phone numbers you can collect
• Play charades
• Wear large sunglasses and introduce yourself to people as a “celebrity”
• Host a talent competition at your gate
• Talk yourself into an Admirals Lounges
• Set up a kissing booth and raise money for charity
• Convince a stranger to switch boarding passes with you
• Coordinate a flash mob
• Hold a casting for your new best friend
• Pretend to read palms
• Ask a random stranger to ballroom dance in the hallway
• Practice joining the mile-high club in the airport bathroom
• Talk a bartender into allowing you to guest-bartend
• Build a fort with coats and scarves
• Set up a bowling alley with empty soda cans
• Make up a fake identity and see how many people you can convince
• Teach a step class at the gate using the chairs
• Slip-and-slide down the airport hallway using neck pillows
• Start a wave and try to get it to go down the entire length of the terminal
• Learn how to say f**k you in 20 different languages
