Two years ago I was on my way to spend the holidays with my fiance who lived in Boston at the time. . I felt really tired beacause I was to a party the night before. At the airport, I ran into a colleague who was on her way to Buffalo. She told me that she arrived there the previous day and that no fligths took off since Thursday because of the snowstorms. It looked like nwe would have to wait a long time. We could not do any shopping because most of the stores closed early owing to a lack of personnel. My co-worker had a classical guitar with her and I took signing lessons before I (abandoned) the idea of becoming an American Maria Callas. The people around us looked really fed up so we decided to give an improvised concert to cheer up all the passengers who missed their flights.This lasted for about three-quarters of an hour and then we heared that the ground staff cleared the runway and everybody could finally check in. Then, to my honor, I suddenly remembered - I lived my passport on the kitchen table. I puted it there so I would not forget it.So I went back home and made myself a lonely dinner and talked for hours with my fiance on the phone. It was by far the worst holiday I ever spent.
