Porridge, foot, tube, train,bus, foot, fag.
Casually smoked a fag because we're 'early'. WRONG TERMINAL.
FUCKIN' RUNNING!!!
Foot, bus, foot, travelator.
TOO LATE FOR CHECK IN :-(
Nearly cried. Nearly sick. Urgh.
Check in for free on later flight. Thank you kind Stephanie :-)
Mingin' salad for Mary. Reliable gammon for Laura. No steak knives allowed. Worried about terrorists eating each other for dinner.
To smoke a fag!
The moral of the story:
Mary can be wrong sometimes and Laura should ALWAYS double check Mary's 'facts'.
"Well Mary, it reminds you that you're only human doesn't it"
Big thanks to all the really lovely people who have helped us thus far. xxx
What You Can Get With A Smile
- minimum cost reduced on Oyster Card
- smiles and information from the electric blue eyed lady
- directions from Delta air greeter
- help with our suitcase from the man with the wandering eye
- letting the bus leave early - bus steward, bus driver and supervisor (the suit)
- reassurance from passenger number 1 and smiley Japanese man
- comfort "No need to cry, you have options. Look at my beautiful tan, stroke my quiff"
Women are wonderful.
Grumpy James answered all our mundane questions. Thanks mate.
Laura watched True Grit
Mary watched Get Low.
We heart Bill Murray and Jeff Bridges.
Perfect toilet within sneaking distance of us to join the mile high club. Let's talk no more about that.
Poor little dude in front of us sick ALL the way to America.
Mary couldn't take healthy substances into America, including seeds and nuts due to America's paranoia. She also had to declare her recent cow petting incident as they needed to know if one had been near livestock recently.
We alighted the plane and queued for HOURS. Herded like cattle so they could take our finger prints ( they even took children's) and photographs. First they let Laura through, then Mary. Smiles can get you anywhere, even past customs/boarder immigration control.
BAGS, FAGS, CAB!
FIRST YELLOW CAB!
Everyone smiles so far in America :-)
Nigerian taxi driver, he won't be buying a Nissan.
He still views NY as a gun-toting-drug-taking city like it was in 1988.
He won't take the subway and tells us to stay away from drugs.
We drag 34Kg 5 flights to Apartment 21. It looks just like it does on Air B+B.
Met our host Ginger. She lays down the house rules.
No hard liquor, shoes off, no lock on the bathroom door. We have the master bedroom with plier controlled air-con.
I'ts hot.
Bedtime. It's only 10 pm but it feels like 4am.
Comfiest bed in the world. Mary Booth is very happy.
GUN SHOT!!!!
OH MY GOD WE'RE IN NEW YORK.
WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO
SLEEP.
