Adventure #5: JFK

We have now spent more than 14 hours in JFK airport. There is a large nest of luggage and airplane blankets next to Peet's Coffee. About 5 people have taken pictures/videos of us and I heard three comments complete strangers saying, "This country is ridiculous," "Can I join you guys?" and "Where are you headed to?"

Along with our nest, many other people had to camp out in JFK last night. Looking around, I thought I was in the movie "28 Days Later" or "The Happening". There were sleeping bodies everywhere, sprawled out on the cold airport floor.

Last night, several of us stayed up until 3:30am laughing at everything because we were so overtired. We made jokes about how we were lined up for the Victoria Secret opening for the new sale of the 3D Imax bra. We also joked about how we are going to catch a turtle to Trinidad instead of a plane.

After all of these delays, cancellations, and obstructions in out trip, I am READY TO GO TO TRINIDAD! I haven't let down hope yet. The amount of days we will actually spend in Trinidad have decreased by 1, but we are still determined to get there, even if we have to resort to turtles.

  1. Everyone - keep your chins up! You'll have stories to tell for years to come...there's nothing like battle scars from travel to bond people together. Have fun and keep laughing - even if you're not overtired!
