there's a lot to be said for a 3.5 hr stopover
the plane was an hour and a half late taking off and an hour late arriving at Newark. It took a total of 1 and a half hours to get through customs, get my luggage, check my luggage, walk to the security checkpoint and get to the front of the line. Somewhere in there the little perforated end of my boarding pass had come off so the front of the line is as far as I got. The made me leave security, go to the ticket counter, get a new boarding pass, and then line up for security again. The near tears expression on my face when they told me this must have made some impression because the let me go through the employee security line which was much faster. Its still security though so nothing happened at lightening speeds.
All the same I am on the right side of the checkpoint and next to my gate with an hour and a half left tip boarding. Plenty of time to pee and then cool off with a bottle of water. He'll I might even pee again after that.
