Hey lovely mates, sorry for the round robin but its really starting to feel like 3am now!?! Plus, if my man were here, then I certainly would not be on email yet!! No disrespect to you lot! ![]()
So......my flight was delayed by 2 hours (some passenger got really sick so we had to turn back on the run way and get him off, security check where he was sitting, find his luggage and so on). I'm thinking, this is ok as it means I won't have too long a wait for F at La Guardia. Soooo......ofcourse he has no idea I'm coming a day earlier and has been texting me en route back from Cuba (via Cancun and Phillidelphia) and I'm not responding as I'm half way across the Atlantic! And being no flies on the bearded one, he starts to suspect I'm up to something. Anyhoooo.... I got a message from him as I'm waiting to get off the plane at JFK but I wait as I want to get sorted, get through Immigration (who coincidentally grilled me for 15 gut-churning minutes about why I was there for so long, was I going to work whilst there (who, moi?! Non, m'am!), how much money did I have, had I been rejected entry to the US before????? Then she examined my passport with a bloody mignifying glass - i kid you not! Sweat is trickling down my spine by this point and I haven't even done anything wrong!! Its that stare they give you...they are trained by the CIA apparently so that they can detect any change in the size of your bloody pupils if you are lying!!. Then she lets me go and watches me walk away and I'm sure she's thinking 'we know where you live'! Yikes!!!!).......bloody hell......so then I go to get my ticket for the shuttle to La Guardia to meet F and once I have that in my mitts I remember to listen to his message. He's only stuck in bloody Philly coz of bad weather and no flights til the morning!! He also said that he thought I might be at his apartment to surprise him as he hadn't heard from me all day! The game is up! The long and the short is, he has mansged to hire a car to drive back instead of waiting til the morning flight (he's keen then!!) so he should arrive imminently.....his lovely neighbour, let me into his place (he always leaves a spare set of keys incase of emergencies). So.................I'm trying very hard not to fall asleep!!!
Ok...maybe a wee disco nap is needed ![]()
More updates soon
Lots of love from the big apple
