I woke up at 9:15 this morning, or so I was told by some lady sitting in the hall waiting for the bathroom to be free... I woke everyone up and told them what time it was and then I had shower.... when I got out of the shower I realised that I was mislead and it was actually 10:45, fifteen minutes before check out time. So I woke everyone up again and we got our groove on and packed the shit out of our backpacks... we were all very unimpressed, especially when psycho air conditioning French bitch came in and shut the air off. WHAT THE HELL WOMAN!!!?? Maybe if you were in here the whole time and had hostel seniority over us then MAYBE you could try pulling this, but c’mon, as if we want to sweat while we’re packing. Good riddance to her and her weak methods. Despite a beautiful sunrise earlier that morning it was definitely pouring rain outside, obviously. We managed to get a little bit of chill time to watch the first few bits of Home Alone 2 before we realised that it was already 1pm and we had an intense amount of Subway travelling ahead of us. So we got the shit outta there and champed NYC’s magical metro system for one last time right to JFK international. One complaint: Those crooked asses made it so that you have to pay 5 dollars to take the Air Train from the metro to the terminals... what the hell is that all about? I would also like to state that the JFK is probably comparable in size to all of downtown Winnipeg and then some. We made it through security and all the bullshit you normally do going through airports with no problems... I even managed to get a smile or two out of the security people... apparently they aren’t all assholes. We got on the plane and I immediately fell asleep, I woke up was greeted with a surprisingly tasty and filling chicken dinner complete with cheesecake and fresh salad... I was very impressed, even more so when the man I asked for water remember about me and returned in 10 minutes with a one litre bottled water... thank you sir!
And today ends at some point over the Atlantic Ocean.... tomorrow should start off nicely with a sunrise on the Atlantic. Bonsoir
