Travel
Well, we made it.
The kids and are I happily settled into being taken care of by Grandma and Grandpa.
Our 18 hours in New York were truly terrible, but we did end up in a warm bed for the night. And we did (barely) make our flight the next day.
A few of the nightmarish elements:
Anna screaming as we taxied toward JFK.
Justin sobbing as we deplaned and went through customs.
A few tears from me when I couldn't figure out how to get to the hotel(see below)
Good news, bad news
There is a hotel room available--but it costs $200
There is a shuttle to the hotel--but it runs only every one to two hours
You can wait for the shuttle--but outside where it is 10 degrees
You can just get a taxi--but the line to the taxi is an hour long, and it is--outside
There is a 9am shuttle to get back to the airport--my room clock is off and we miss it as it pulls out before 9
They call it back--it is full
They can have their maintenance man drive another van--can't find him
I could go on, but you get the idea...
It was truly terrible, but God is good. That sums up a lot, doesn't it?
