Onward to New York

07 August 2008; 1119 hrs Rapid City, South Dakota (USA)

I finally checked in and had seat assigned all the way to JFK. Finally. The check-in counters opened at about 1000hrs, so I did have enough time to clear security. My luggage was not over the weight limit in site of the textbook and notes. Thank goodness. So everything is fine.

I had a very expensive breakfast at the airport. A tuna sandwich with chocolate milk cost US$10! I had to get it though, I was really starving…

I’m now waiting by the gate for my flight. I’m NOT going to miss it. It’s overbooked and they are asking people to volunteer to give their seats up, so it’s a good thing I checked in early otherwise it could have been me. I’m on my way to New York and will arrive at night. I hope I’ll be able to cab easily to my hostel and have a good night’s sleep on a clean bed.

Tomorrow HZ and JL will join me! Alone no more. Is this a good thing or is it going to be a bad thing?
