I had a fantabulous time! The weather stayed patchy but Saturday and Sunday were gorgeous. I scampered around and bought too much and ate waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much but I was a very happy mousey.
Mild adventures getting home - my original booked flight was scheduled to depart at 9.15pm Sunday - when I got to JFK, I was very dismayed to see that it had been delayed and was currently listed as departing at 11.55pm. Given that was the scheduled departure based on a hopeful assessment of the flight's final arrival time in NYC, I figured it could well slip a bit later. I grumbled a bit under my breath but there wasn't anything anyone could do so I resigned myself to a 4 hour wait. Then I realised that there was an 8.20pm flight that was boarding in a few minutes. And I hatched a Cunning Plan. I waited for the flight to board and then spoke to the AA folks at the gate and explained that I was supposed to be on the non-existent 9.15 but hey! I had no checked baggage! Was there a spare seat on this flight? And there was!! The very last seat on the whole plane! Hee! And I got it :D *nudges
jenni411* See! Travelling light has major benefits! :D
So now I'm slurping tea, there's cheese on toast to be chomped and then, I think, I'll HAVE to have a nap. I wasn't going to but I feel really groggy so I may indulge for an hour or two. I would have slept on the plane but it was too noisy - the reason why however will have to wait for the more detailed holiday post. Look for links to back dated entries soon!
