But the worst part was that the Rome airport, while they are used to hosting air shows, were NOT used to dealing with the crowds they drew by having the Thunderbirds headline their airshow.
Lines for food quickly became over an hour-long wait. I would rather go hungry than stand in a line that long, so I didn't eat anything, until my sister went and got us something. They also ran out of a lot of stuff, so "lunch" ended up being a giant pretzel.
To make matters worse, she went in search of some water for me and came up empty. They were OUT of bottled water (and hadn't allowed you to bring in your own).
So I ended up dehydrated and my legs and back started cramping up pretty bad on the car ride home. Getting OUT of the airport parking area was even worse than getting in!
After getting dehydrated and cramping up, I then woke up about 5 a.m. on Sunday with a migraine. Fun times!
