So I left today on my way to London….yes there was a terrorist attack the other day, but my thought is that is best time to go, because the streets are full of security!…Tammy and Meisha gave me ride to Knoxville…of course the flight was delayed……..first security checkpoint….I put all liquids and laptop in cinch sack so I could just pull them out quickly and wouldn’t have to open suitcase because it took Mekia having to to sit on it for me to zip….but although I made it easier for me…airport security still decided I looked like a terrorist…or it could’ve been the powder sugar residue from a powdered donut Meisha gave me..Tammy said they probably thought I was part of the drug cartel…..security decided to check bag by opening suitcase and violate me with a pat down….I told security good luck to him getting the suitcase zipped back!….when he opened that suitcase I’d like to know where I would’ve put that bomb if I had one…I couldn’t have gotten a pair earring in that bag it was so tight….Of course flight delayed 3 hours.
I met a nice lady and we chit chat while waiting…when we got on plain she was in the seat beside me…..I don’t think we were off the runway before she fell asleep….before we got off the plain in Newark, we were talking about how I needed to get to JFK on other side of New York…according to google I would take airtrain to ground train to Penn station and that was where she would get off and I would switch trains and proceed on my way…..so together we caught the tram, then train..we .met a nice lady from Jersey….about 45 minutes of train we said goodbye and off to the long island subway at Penn Station….a little bit rougher crowd than when we were there a month ago….I was standing with my pack, plane pillow and green rolly..with my 3 layers of clothing I couldn’t fit in the suitcase, masking my physique …and loud flowing turquoise wide leg pantsI…I blended in like I did in China…. Allergies acting up and eyes red and swollen …Im sure I was an interesting site…..a nice young man offered me his seat. (I think he was scared when train took off Id fall on him!ll)…needless to say he was the only nice one….a thug gets on at the next stop and his buddy sit down beside me and there was about a foot in between us….the other guy told me scoot over, I was already up against the rail….I scooted a little more as he rolled his eyes and motioned for me to scoot more…I was already up against the rail…..I dont know what he wanted me to do….fold myself up and get in my suitcase…..if I could make myself smaller, I wouldve years ago!!!!! The thug plopped down almost sitting in my lap….I didnt say anything because I seen his attitude wasnt worth it….I had to ride with this. a#$ for 8 more stops…getting off at same stop….a guy pushed him a little bit while going to escalator, he started yelling and cursing at the guy…..needless to say I was allowing him to get as far ahead of me as possible..Made it to the next air train and then to JFK. Long layover and overnight flight…should be in London by morning
