On Sunday afternoon, we arrive at 3:30 pm in JFK International Airport, NYC as opposed to 4:30. Immediately, I call Russell, a good friend of mine for the better part of 15 years, to let him know we’re here. Earlier I arranged to have dinner with him and his fiancé, Nancy Kelly. He’s heading into his senior year in biochemistry at Columbia while Nancy is a RDBMS person and going to Columbia part time. Kellen came along too (pics & video to follow)!
When Kellen and I got to JFK airport, we headed for Qatar Airways to get our boarding passes. Earlier we couldn’t get them because their doors were closed. As we walked to the main area where they were, we bumped into their business section that didn’t have a line. The ticket agents prompted helped Kellen. She asked if I could accompany her into the business lounge because we were traveling together (I was traveling economy so we weren’t sure); and they said yes! Sweeeeet. We had about an hour or so to kill before boarding started and we could see where they were boarding from where we sat in the business lounge.
Probably because it was so late at night, there was hardly anyone there. The cosmos drink we had back in Queens was pretty weak and Kellen suggested another one. Yummy. We loaded up on some snacks while we were there. Being that I am going into a Muslim country, I went into the restroom to put a Indian top on that Nandini gave me (Thanks Nan!).
Next thing you know, Kellen is screaming at me, “Come on Janell, we gotta go! They just called us to board the plane and we’re the last ones again!” Off she went. OMG, not again. Crrrrap! I powered down the laptop, stuffed by bag, searched for my boarding pass, and made like rabbit in my Indian getup.
Oh yes, the trek continues...
