What We Do On Layovers

My youngest daughter and I were chatting recently about a blanket I started knitting a while back for some friends who were expecting their first baby. Baby Anna is now 2.5 years old, and said baby blanket is only about 8 inches long. It's a work in progress.....

Anyway, my daughter suggested I start bringing my knitting with me to work on in hotel rooms and then asked what other flight attendants do on their layovers. She found the list funny, weird and fascinating, so I thought I'd share it. Come to think of it, she's not the first person to ask, "So, what do you do, exactly, on your layovers?" (All of these I've either seen, done or heard rumors that others have done, by the way.)
