Destination...

... New York.
Visit family, close friends.
Do some shopping and sightseeing.

What a way to start vacation:
1. Sitting comfortably on the train going to the airport. The train comes suddenly to a full stop and the coffee spilled all over my shirt! Agrrrr!
2. "No need to panic!" Shirt off, fleezer on! That should do it.
3. BUT we are still not moving! The train broke down hence the sudden brake application.
4. Don't know how long we will be delayed and we can't get off the plane.
5. After 20 min. delay, the train is moving again. We still have plenty of time.
6. Got off the train. Walked quickly towards the gate and got yelled at for being the last passenger to board the plane!
7. At the end, we departed with a slight delay due to minor difficulties with one of the engines.
