No sleep till Brooklyn

I've begun my epic journey! Only to be waylaid in Pittsburgh by bad weather over NYC. Luckily it only took 2 hours to refuel and hop over to New York, where the weather had cleared. Also luckily, I knew I would have quite a long layover before continuing to London.

So although we were in the terminal at 2am, I was in no hurry to go anywhere. I walked around and stretched, then, feeling exhaustion set in, I spread out an airline blanket (that somehow conveniently found it's way into my bag) on the ground in the empty JFK terminal 8, set up my travel pillow, donned my socks, pulled on my eye mask and plugged in my earplugs. Then I proceeded to freeze and be ridiculously uncomfortable on the hard ground. Throw in some leg spasms and I was soon up and, once again, walking the concourse.

Just for fun I left and rode the courtesy bus around the airport, which killed a good half hour. Now here it is, 530, and I've still got at least an hour and a half before my next flight boards.

Things to report:

-I am too old to sleep on airport floors.

-terminal 7 at JFK is gross, and badly organized.

-the new terminal 2 at SFO is reallllly nice.

-there is a pinkberry frozen yogurt in SFO terminal 2.

-I used to think all the hype about pinkberry was stupid, having never tried it.

-I tried it. Now I get it. Pinkberry is legit. For real.

Am I in London yet?
