Well you'll be pleased to know I arrived in New York safe...sound however is another story!! Half way through my flight to LA from Sydney I was struck down with a stomache bug and spent the rest of flight (still a good 6 hours) in the toilet projectile vomiting!! That was bad enough but then arrived in LA only to be met with a two hour long wait in customs. I had a connecting flight to New York at 8am and I was still in the line at 8.30am..luckily so was half the plane so they held up the flight for us...once on the plane the captain came over the speaker to inform his passengers that there would be a further delay because the baggage conveyor that puts the bags in the plane had just broken causing half the luggage to fall off onto the ground!!! Hence when I got to JFK airport my backpack did not make it!! A further hour and a half wait at JFK in between being sent from one end of JFK airport to the other (this airport has it's own train system it's that big!!) to try and locate my luggage, I finally was reunited with my long lost and yet essential item of my trip....WHAT THE HELL IS BACKPACKING WITHOUT A BACKPACK??
Well it's new years eve tomorrow I gotta go to bed and get some sleep in...catch you next year!!
Love Kate xox
