Sounds like you're a more exciting guy than me, Bob.

I'll hit a restaurant, and will see if there is a baseball game (especially minors!). Failing that, a batting cage is next on my wish list.

Funny story, I go to this batting cage, start at the medium velocity, move up to fast, then in an ill-advised moment of testosterone overload, try the super fast. I fouled off 1 pitch and was pretty proud to accomplish that. The next person after my was this kid of 12-13. He steps in and hits ropes (line drives)! A humbling moment.

Breakfast bars are another item I like to bring with me. They ease the pangs of hunger on the 3 hour flight with beverage only service. They are also VERY effective bribes to a screaming child seated nearby.
