Trip Report: Blue Mountains, Boston Bay, Kingston

[mwenvlay]

we stopped at tastee patty on the way to the airport.









we got through security at the airport and had about an hour to kill. after i did a little bit of liquor shopping, husband and i sucked down a pretty yucchy rum and pepsi (with bottled lemon juice) at a very charmless bar near the gate.

the flight to miami was annoying, because i was trying to sleep, but husband took the window seat and kept climbing over us to get to the bathroom and kept raising the window shade to look out.

getting through immigration, grabbing our bags and re-checking them in miami was annoying, but we got through it.

the flight from miami to ny was pretty good, because i'd booked us into a main cabin extra seat, row 12, front/center aisle, so there was no one in front of us, we had a lot of leg room and both husband and i were on the aisle, so there was no climbing over anyone. on the negative side, they didn't bother with beverage service and we were supposed to get a free cocktail with our main cabin booking. husband kept asking me when they were going to come around with the drinks. i told him to ask a stewardess but we never saw one- they were all too busy serving the first class cabin. for an expensive airline, american is so erratic with their service.





jfk- other people's boring luggage




back at jfk there was the usual cab annoyingness- we were the first people on the cab line, but we had so many bags that we needed to take one of those suv cabs. the dispatch guy made us walk all the way to the back and the first suv can guy refused to go to brooklyn and then some d!ck with one small suitcase cut in front of us and grabbed the next suv cab. and then there were no more cabs and we had to wait 15 minutes until the next set up cabs rolled through.

we got home around 11:15pm. an almost 12 hour day of travel. the cats were happy to see us.
