Heading Home, Part One

Good morning all, I am writing from the Admiral's Club at JFK. I've been up since about 1 and my flight isn't until 8:15. I am heading to North Carolina, my "new" home. My parents moved there about a month after I left Texas to go to NYU. I had to take Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Jamaica and switch to the Airtrain that takes me to JFK. For $10 it wasn't too bad. It would certainly be nice in Orlando. I got to the airport SUPER early and of course it seems like there are tons of SGs everywhere.
Self Check-In
"My baggage tags haven't printed out yet!!!!"
Agent: "That's because you are at the wrong counter, you checked in at machine 6, you are at counter 8."
Security
"What do you mean I can't take my shampoo???"
TSA Person: "Ma'am it's been this way for about a year..."
Admirals Club
"Why did you put Ice in my apple juice???"
Bartender "It was kinda warm so I thought you would like some ice"
"You thought wrong..."

Don't people know how to travel? I swear, everywhere I go I do my best to say thank-you and ask people how their day is. It's nice to make them feel human while they are at work. I had a nice conversation with the bartender who was really nice, especially for 6:00 in the morning. I spoke some spanish with her, probably butchering most of it (I am kinda out of practice, Damn you French I!). Sigh. I am looking forward to Part two of my journey which involves my dear mother driving with me to Florida in a week. It's getting closer! YAY!!! Well I should probably move on...I've never been to JFK before I want to explore. Have a good day everyone!

I would tell you have a good flight, but at this time you are probably on final approach to NC.

Have a safe landing, and a safe drive back to WDW.

Final approach? HA! I got delayed at the gate for thirty minutes. Then we got in line for takeoff, 10 planes ahead of us! 15 minutes later they tell us they have stopped all departures in our direction due to traffic. They shut down the engines. After another 15 minutes we FINALLY take off. Flying is sooo frustrating!!! Sigh but the important things is that I am home now... and as Dorothy says "If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with..." ;)
