NYC: lemme slap you back home with a humidity heat high
waffling about dressing because NYC is hot and in the airport/plane it will be cold
just put things to change into at the top in suitcase
check-out at 11am, flight leaves at 8pm
first stop, air-conditioned Starbucks with wifi
catching up with all the journaling
it’s nice to walk out into the humid heat after getting deep-frozen at Starbucks
it’s nice for, like 26,5 mins
need to get back into the freezer now, pls 😭
sitting in Sara D Roosevelt Park munching on the last dumplings and reading The Stardust Thief
my station being closed for the whole weekend and having to drag my suitcase to the next station
when everything is brainrot and your train goes through Chauncey Station
blessed cold in the metro
arriving at the airport real early but that’s okay because I still gotta figure out how to convince the peeps here my German vaccination passport is actually valid for my return to Germany…
Oh nein! Ein deutscher Impfausweis! Das wird Deutschland NIEMALS als Nachweis akzeptieren!!! 😱
airport train should be free, just sayin
not changing and only getting out an extra layer before getting in line to drop off luggage
line isn’t that long here, nice
airport person: when was your last vaccination?
Me: 28th April
APP: fine, move along
me: ??? le fuq? They didn’t even check if that was true?!?
longest line ever though security, managed to read half of The Stardust Thief (can recommend, excellent book)
meandering through the airport to kill time and maybe spend my last dollars
airports are cursed, like 30 bucks is nothing here and soda is 5 bucks 500ml
find a place to charge my phone, munching down super expensive food
ngl, intended to have a glass of wine, but I physically cannot spend 16 bucks on one
make way to gate and hear flight is overbooked 😬
go to lady at the counter and get swept away with relief because I do have a seat
start waiting
listen to the offer for changing flight climbing
board and have a window seat?!? ok, over the wing, but still
catering truck breaks down behind plane
1,5 hrs later: we are catered and ready to go but have now crew to push us out to the tarmac
2 hrs later – finally!
On the down side: got a transport to my car lined up at planned arrival time plus brekkers date
can’t inform anybody because it’s the middle of the night back home
was able to sleep, actually
waive breakfast sandwich
long trek along the whole length of Frankfurt airport to bus shuttle
airport train is free here, just sayin
get on board though I may or may have lost my return ticket *oop*
long trek across the parking space to my car, it’s frying hot inside after standing in the sun for a week
brekkers date still standing *yay*
meet with Kezia at street fest and have a great time
it is nice war, not a lick of humid, NYC take notes
