JFK.. aka i love Delta.

After a four hour drive to New York, my parents and i finally arrived at JFK.. We checked my bags, had lunch, and waited until Lindsey's plane arrived. The plan was that i was going to meet her at the gate and wait for our international flight. Once i said my goodbyes and met up with Lindsey, we sat down at the gate and decided to take a stab at learning some Russian..

Grant and Megan, two of our teammates showed up to the gate a little bit later. They're from Alabama and are my age. We were waiting for another on of our teammates, Chelsea, who was flying in from Tampa. Delta moved up our flight and starting boarding before Chelsea's flight even landed. It was pretty much panic mode when the guy said Final Boarding Call and Chelsea's flight had just pulled up to the gate (at the other side of the terminal). We pretty much stalled as long as humanly possible and Chelsea made it on time. it was pretty much a miracle.

The flight from New York (JFK) to Kyiv-Borispol (KBP) is around 9 1/2 hours.. i sat next to this very nice Ukrainian lady named Luda, who taught me a few things about the culture.
