Packing Up
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
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 soЧитать далее
Riding With Joe
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты
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 forЧитать далее
No Traffic
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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.Читать далее
Departures
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты
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 doЧитать далее
Bad First Impressions
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты
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.Читать далее
How Was It?
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты
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 andЧитать далее
Quiet Day at the TSA
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 staffЧитать далее
He’s Ready!
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
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 aЧитать далее
They’re Back
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты
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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 oneЧитать далее
Passenger or Hobo?
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 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 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 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 heЧитать далее
Long Line
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 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.Читать далее
The Back Rows
4 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 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. IЧитать далее
Flying at Night
5 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 everЧитать далее
Welcome to Iceland!
5 ноября 2023 г., Исландия ⋅ 🌬 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. IЧитать далее
Good Morning!
5 ноября 2023 г., Исландия ⋅ 🌬 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 thatЧитать далее
