03.02.10 (posted 03.06.10) - i woke up at the crack of dawn to head over to jfk airport to catch my early morning flight. had i known that my flight would be delayed and i would be sitting on the runaway for another hour i would have stayed in bed to catch a few more zzzzzs.
perhaps i am traumatized from the jetblue valentine's day fiasco. yes, i was one of the 99 passengers of flight #351 headed from nyc to burbank, ca who were stranded (or held hostage if you will) for 11 hours on the freezing tarmac in jfk. that experience i hope to never go through again or wish it on anyone. it probably is also cemented in my mind because my hubby and i were taking that flight to the los angeles area for our wedding. suffice it to say, i get a little anxious when i hear that there are possible delays of any sort on my flights.
luckily, that wasn't the case today. after the pilots found out the reason for our delay was the weather in san francisco (and the not the construction on one of the jfk runaways), we got the clearance for take off. the flight was pretty empty. i had a whole row to myself. woohoo! i stretched out, got some shut eye, and when i finally felt rested i spent the remaining part of the flight watching traveling shows. all in all, not a bad trip cross country.
