Stuck in a Holding Pattern

There is a certain zone that you enter when you have been traveling in airports for more than 24 hours. It suddenly doesn't matter where you are actually going, you have to stop thinking about it, you are stuck in a brain holding pattern, like a plane waiting to land. It is a very strange place to be....all this waiting, punctuated by short busts of stress. Like when you go through customs, or when they tell you they don't know where your bag is, or when they pull you OFF the plane so that a flight crew can get to Calgary instead of you...
Total travel time for getting here from door to door? 56 hours in transit....
