JFK Airport
ETA: It is now 2:08 PM, and we have been at the airport since 8 PM last night. We have eaten very weird foods, slept on a floor on blankets, taken over the first class lounge, and gotten $35 15 minute massages. Some of us have showered in the 1 shower in the lounge, purchased neck pillows, and some have even purchased new outfits to last us until we get to our destination. By the time we get to Jordan, if our flight leaves at its new time of 6 PM, we will have traveled for 36 hours. That does not count the travel time to the airport in NY. Luckily, our group is in great spirits and we are having fun entertaining ourselves and bonded as a group!!!!!
I am off to read my book, eat some Sun Chips, and drink some Perrier.
**********
Our flight to Jordan was delayed and delayed. Instead of leaving at 11 pm Friday we are leaving at 4 pm Saturday.
All the hotels are booked.
We are sleeping on the floor.
Encouraging and kind comments strongly welcomed.
Ohhhh nooooooooo!!! Why didnt you call us!! You could have all stayed at my parents house – were in NY for the weekend…!!
Have an amazing time on your trip, cant wait to see you all soon!!

Well, it’s an adventure and will certainly make the hotel in Jordan seem even nicer. 🙂
Ugh.. airport sleeping stinks.
At least you had a neck pillow…
Oh no! No worries though – it will all be worth it in the end! Take a deep breathe 😉 everything will be fine in the end- it always is!
