Darlene and I got stuck in Newark on our way to Spain a couple of years ago. We had to spend the night as we missed our connecting flight overseas (another story, but suffice it to say we spent nearly two hours taxi-ing because they didn't have a gate we could use). We weren't alone in this situation, but they ran out of motel rooms to put people in (in NYC?) and all they gave us was an airline pillow and blanket. We "slept" in the terminal (me for less than an hour on the floor), which was about 40 degrees in the middle of summer. They gave us meal vouchers, but there wasn't anything open. Most of this was the airline's fault, but I certainly was not impressed with the Newark airport, either. Fred,
