Left The Abu dhabi airport at 10am went through like three security checks having to take off shoes, jewelry etc. The Whole world has to be paranoid with the Americans!
Took a very long 14 hour flight to NYC. Not much sleep at all.
Arrived at JFK at 4pm NY time (gained a few hours since we travelled from east to west) . We hear so much about JFK but let me tell you it has nothing on OR Tambo international. Its huge i give it that (then again everything is over-sized in the US). It actually looks so deary and grey...Just like the rainy weather we were welcomed with
Finally got through immigration and customs and then had to wait for over 45 minutes for a taxi. Yes in NY there were no taxi's- not a great start.
And if you thought Johannesburg traffic was bad... It took us forever to get to the hotel to top it all mom and I were both terribly nauseous.
The drive in to the city is through queens and a few other
areas. Not the most appealing sight but its great that we got to see another part of America that's what we seem to miss in the movies.
Finally checked in settled in a bit went to bed at 9 am but was up from 5am because of jet lag...
