Packing Up

It’s time for another trip! This time we’ll be going back to England after too much time away and then on to Iceland. This will be our first trip to Iceland and we’re looking forward to it so Czytaj więcej
Riding With Joe
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Joe is giving us a ride to JFK Airport and it’s much appreciated. We’re leaving kind of early but we haven’t been assigned our seats yet and want to get there early enough to take care of it.
On to JFK
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone
We were supposed to be getting a ride to the airport from Ray but then when we learned that Chris had caught COVID, again, we didn’t feel comfortable riding with him. Fortunately, Joe filled in for Czytaj więcej
No Traffic
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We’re not seeing any traffic, which is a bit unusual. We’re leaving early enough that we’re not going to be late even if there was any traffic but, still, it’s never fun to deal with.
Almost There
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Since there’s no traffic, we’re getting to the airport quicker than we had expected. We’re still not close to our terminal though. Kennedy Airport is so big that it’s almost like a small town.
Construction
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
The airports in New York seem like they are always under construction. I never see that at any of the other airports that we travel to though. It only seems to be happening here. I don’t like this. Czytaj więcej
Departures

We’re here at the departure area and this is when our trip really starts. We’re getting very excited to finally be taking this trip!
Empty Desks
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We made it to the check in gate for Icelandair but there’s nobody here. I know that we’re in the right place because there’s plenty of other people standing around waiting also.
Waiting
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone
We’re the first ones in line to check in, once Icelandair decides to open up. There are plenty of people here but, strangely, none of them got in line until we did. Most people are so afraid to do Czytaj więcej
Bad First Impressions
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone
Iceland Air is finally open but they are not making a good impression on us. They are pressuring Kathy to pay extra money for our seats and when she refused to do so, they forced us to check our bags. Czytaj więcej
How Was It?
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone
I’m sorry to say that I had to vote with the sad face for my security experience today. The people working here are always unnecessarily rude and pushy. They seem very unhappy with their jobs and Czytaj więcej
Quiet Day at the TSA
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
The TSA area was very quiet and empty today so I don’t know why the people who work there are so grouchy. Most people are very happy to be going off on vacations and I imagine that grumpy TSA staff Czytaj więcej
He’s Ready!
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Groot is all checked in and ready to leave. He’s even got his passport ready for inspection when we start boarding the plane.
Waiting
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Since we got here so early, we’ve got a lot of time to spend waiting at the gate for our plane. Still, I’d rather be early, and wait, than rushing around to get here at the last minute.
Gate 6

You know that I’m getting bored when I’m starting to take photos in all different styles, like the panoramic shot I did here. If nothing else, this is good practice for me. I like to shoot in a Czytaj więcej
They’re Back
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone
The two Iceland Air workers who wouldn’t let us carry on our bags have now appeared at our gate. I wonder what trouble they plan on starting now?
Delayed
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Our plane is at the gate, and looks like it’s ready to go, so why do those two workers at the gate keep announcing that our flight is delayed?
Still Making Trouble
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
These two workers for Iceland Air are determined to make trouble for everyone. They must have a list of all passengers who didn’t check luggage because they have started calling them to the desk one Czytaj więcej
Passenger or Hobo?
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
Is this person actually a passenger? I’m guessing that he must be otherwise how did he get past TSA security and the airport check points? He looks like a homeless person!
Elegant Luggage
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
This guy’s carry on bag looks like a clear plastic garbage bag! It’s loaded with nothing but dirty old sneakers. I really don’t think he’s a passenger on a flight but, if not, how did he Czytaj więcej
Long Line
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
We’re close to the end of the line for boarding the plane. Since we don’t have any bags that need to go into the overhead bin, I suppose that it doesn’t really matter if we board first or last. Czytaj więcej
The Back Rows
4 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
I don’t think that we’ve ever sat so far in the back of an airplane. We’re seated among the last few rows. I had always thought that planes board people from the back and then go forward. I Czytaj więcej
Flying at Night
5 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 45 °F
The lights are turned down low to give passengers an opportunity to get some sleep while flying. It’s a great gesture but, unfortunately, I’m never able to sleep on a plane. I just can’t ever Czytaj więcej
Welcome to Iceland!
5 listopada 2023, Islandia ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
It’s the next morning and we’ve just landed in Iceland. This is just the first leg of our flight since we’ll be going on to England. It’s so nice to walk around and stretch our legs a bit. I Czytaj więcej
Good Morning!
5 listopada 2023, Islandia ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Since it’s now morning, we’re having a small breakfast. We’ll each be having a banana and sharing a bottle of water. It’s not a lot but it’s better than nothing at all. I’m sure that Czytaj więcej
