"I was flying straight through lunchtime today, so I [snacked](/takecareofyou/snacks-slideshow) on a Luna bar, some almonds and an apple on the plane instead of having a set lunch. When I got...\\n\\n...to my first stop, I got a [latte](/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/2011/09/surprising-benefits-of-coffee) and a banana to help hold me over a little longer. My last flight, which was a super short one from Memphis to Nashville, got canceled due to maintenance issues, unfortunately. They tried to fix the plane, so we waited a while until they finally told us it was definitely canceled. They gave us hotel vouchers and food vouchers ($6 for a meal at the hotel -- uh, yeah right!).\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8da7b4b76f0f832a0fc11]||||||So, I took a shuttle over to the hotel with some other people from my plane. The best part about the whole ordeal was that I met a great new friend name Jodell. She and I had exchanged magazines on the plane, and then she kept my spirits up with her wonderful attitude throughout the whole cancellation and everything.\\n\\nNeedless to say, I was starving by the time we got to the hotel; the bar was the only thing open, and it was only serving food for 10 more minutes. So Jodell and I raced over there and got some food. And she took the above picture of me for this blog, because I was so happy to finally be getting some food! I ordered the jumbo shrimp cocktail and a veggie spring roll with some [Asian](/fooddiet/2008/04/healthy-vietnamese-recipes) slaw. This will at least be enough to hold me over until morning!\\n\\nComments? Requests?
