RTBTCKI Sitting at the Airport Edition

[puppetmaker]

I am sitting at JFK airport in the Jet Blue terminal waiting for my 9:10 flight to Orlando. Since getting here can be such a crap shoot, I decided to leave a little early rather than on-time due to the fact I had to be here about 8:10 and rush hour traffic on a Monday can be a real pain. Instead I get here about 2 hours before my flight so I have been able to take a little time to get ready and, since Jet Blue has WiFi, write a web log entry.

I am trying to figure out what I have forgotten. I couldn’t find two things I wanted to bring with me but that’s OK. I am just glad to get everything together.

Caroline is up and getting ready for school. I have talked to Peter this morning. I am going to call my buddies next to see where they are on their trip.

I am slowly shifting my brain to vacation mode. I have a feeling once the flight is over and I am on the bus to the Walt Disney Resorts, I’ll relax a little more.

I did get my first body scan today. Simple and relatively quick. It didn’t feel intrusive or scary. Also I taught a seasoned traveller a trick about computer bags. We have one that is TSA approved to just unzip and lay flat on the belt. No taking computers in and out of bags/briefcases. My iPad sailed through without a problem.

The flight is boarding at 8:40ish so that’s fine. I should get on pretty early.

I think I am going to post this, noodle around on the Internet for about 10 more minutes and then it is off to Orlando.

I am grateful for not having to run for an airplane.

I was reading your 'packing' post about the list of lists ;D LOL I do that! I'm such a list-maker (but I don't seem to keep to them!)

Have a really awesome holiday!

I always end up getting to JFK two hours or more early.

I;d rather do that than rush, and, like you said, traffic around there is such a crapshoot.

Have a great trip!
