Day One
I made it to New York okay… Southwest Airlines apparently won an award the last two years for the most friendly flight attendants, and now I know why. They are insane. They would sing to us about Southwest Airlines being cool, to the tune of songs like that Glory Glory Hallelujah one. “Mine eyes have seen the patrons lining up at the plane door, they will leave the plane so we take off and fly around once more…” Stuff like that.
The train ride from Islip (where I landed) into New York Penn Station takes about an hour and a half. Of course, the train schedules there were completely different from the ones posted on their website, so I ended up at the train station around 5:30 with the next train going to Penn Station at 7:13. My sister expected me at Penn Station at 7:30, so she ended up waiting there for an hour and a half. We had made plans to eat dinner with some friends of hers, and they were nice enough to postpone the meal for us. It was great Japanese food, and I got to try natto (for all you Iron Chef fans..)
Today is a busy preparation and shopping day, our plane for London leaves tomorrow evening, I’ll try to post something tonight as well..
