New York -> Rockland

The processing of our Visas when we arrived was pretty quick and less weird than usual. Afterwards we took the Airtrain connecting the terminals and looked for a spot to spend the night in the Terminal 5 where we'll depart the next morning. Even though the terminals are open 24h there is absolutely no seating available in the pre-security area. But one of the JetBlue booths with carpet was unlocked so it was a bit cosy 😅 We slept a little bit there and woke up around 3 in the morning to three other people that had joined us.
We decided to go into the post-security section as we could drop off our luggage and online it said that there are sleeping pods available. But apparently they had been removed, instead we went to get a early breakfast consisting of a Philly Cheesesteak and an overpriced orange mango smoothie. At least there were seats now 🤷‍♂️ After some more naps we went to our gate but the flight was delayed for half an hour because of crew members. When we were on the plane they announced that a crew member got sick and then there was a technical issue that got resolved by a restart 😂
A quick one hour flight later the plane landed in Portland Maine, a small and nice jetport. From there we walked around 4km to the bus terminal and still had more than two hours left so we studied some tourism flyers and got lunch from a nearby Deli. The Concord bus was very comfortable with power outlets, Wifi and plenty of leg space.
Around 4pm we've reached Rockland where Julias sister picked us up. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the kids and then after dinner we went exhausted but happy to bed.Les mer
