There are many very entertaining discussions of "Hilbert's Hotel" online. I look them up once or twice a year for teaching my math classes. To answer your very pertinent question, I suggest looking at

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/the-hilbert-...

for an illustrated, and I think illuminating, discussion of what to do if countably infinite buses, each with countably infinite passengers, drive up to Hilbert's Hotel with infinite rooms, each of which is already full.
