I heart NY

Well...once I actually GET there.

Yesterday was a LONG travel day. Everything was going great for a1:40 flight out of ohare. The plane is boarded, everyone is settled. Then the pilot comes on and says one of the breaks doesn't work, and it will take at least an hour to fix it, but there' s a flight leaving at 2:10 a couple of gates down. So everyone gets off the plane and it's a free for all to get to said gate. By the time I got there, the standby list had 39 people on it, so I just went back. We finally took off around 2:55. Should still have PLENTY of time to meet with Jason, drop my crap off, and get to Brooklyn.

"There is a car stuck in the tunnel." AHHHHHH. The bus ride took FOREVER. The bus I was on was supposed to go to Grand Central, but because of the giant hole in the street, was rerouted. Instead of just having an alternate stop, the driver starts taking requests. I got off as soon as this started happening.

Found Jason, got on the subway, and we were only 5 minutes late for our 8 PM appointment. The apartment was really nice, with awesome views. The neighborhood wasn't too hot though. Now I'm off for day #2, which will be SO much better without having to lug my crap around.
