Back and forth nonstop at the buffet line in the lounges. I rarely go to buffets, so I take advantage at the airport.

Never drink soda at home but always get a fanta when I travel especially to Europe.

New books that have nothing to do with work.

ORd seems to be coming up a lot in this thread, is it some kind of oasis of temptation?

Honestly, that's where the smell of pretzel is most profound!

Next time I'm there I will have a Pretzel and wash it down with a Milkshake. Sounds like a George Costanza move.

Yes - That, and it represents a hub for two large carriers, so many people flying transcon pass through ORD and wind up with time to kill.

Room service ... Nice to eat something I'd probably never make myself, and not to have to cook or clean up for a change.

Love to indulge in breakfast buffet in 5 star hotel. And love to go the the Chinese public bath for bath, haircut, foot massage and dinner.

One Flew South in ATL. I don't feel guilty about eating there, but I will book trips with that in mind even if they take longer or cost a bit more.

Fast food Asian on layovers, drinks in F I don't make at home (tequila, bailey's on ice...), rolls WITH butter, and just having the time and opportunity to chat with other travelers from time to time.

Berghoff Cafe at ORD, Terminal 1 (United), C concourse (high numbers) ... a very good facsimile of the original downtown, foodwise. Bratwurst with sauerkraut on dark rye, extra mustard, and a large dark (dunkel) brau.

Buena Vista Cafe at SFO - again, a good facsimile of the original. Of course, Irish Coffee!

Sampling local microbrews ... yes! Does Hoogarden on draft count at Schiphol?

Room service breakfast! My usual breakfast is yogurt with fruit. If I'm at a hotel I order pancakes, sausage and pink grapefruit juice.
