It was about an 18 minute walk to get to the subway which we took up to 72nd street to have a stroll through Central Park. We also stopped to have a sausage on a bun from a food cart. We passed by Strawberry Fields, a mosaic to honour John Lennon, it was underwhelming. We left the park around 2:30pm a few hours early because quite frankly we were tired of ALL the people.

We took the C train downtown to Penn station and caught an LIRR train to Jamaica station.

We had an awful time trying to find HOT coffee at the airport. Dunkin’ was a zoo and Starbucks had not HOT coffee. We finally found a little place close to one of our gates.

Not sure what is going on with JetBlue but our quick little flight to Buffalo has now been delayed 10+ times. We were supposed to fly out at 8pm, now our flight is scheduled for who knows, it keeps changing!

Oh and there have also been 4 gate changes!

JetBlue felt so bad about delaying our flight that they gave Leanne and I 2 meal vouchers valued at $12 USD each. Now that doesn’t seem too bad except you can’t even buy a prepackaged tuna sandwich for $12! We ended up getting 2 muffins and 2 Clif bars for $22.59 USD. That is hardly a meal.

Finally…

We made it aboard the plane, did the self-boarding process too but now we need to wait for the plane to be fuelled. Also the flight will take longer than normal because the pilot’s changed the route due to weather.
