New York New York

Well guys, im back in the Big Apple again, and the weather so far is lowsy!! clouds, damp air and possible rain/mist all day. Not the 2 i read it would be, but anyway. Thats travel for you! I'll tell you a little story about my trip though...
We planned to leave Penticton by 3:30 to get to the airport (in Kelowna and hour away), in time to miss all the 5 o'clock traffic. And we did, bag on time. Then, 30mins later i hear an add on the radio about updating your passport, blah blah blah,... then i realise... i DONT HAVE MY PASSPORT!!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!! SO we whip the car around, and drive hallf the way back to get it. meanwhile im trying to call home to see if anyone can find it for me for when we arrive. Eventually i get Mike, and he finds it in one of the two spots i thought it could be. We turn up, grab it, seriously think if there is anything ELSE i have forgotten, then hit the roda agin. Now about 4:30. Also on the way back home i realised my flight doesnt leave at 7:30 like i had read it at least 50 times, but rather at 6:35!! So now the realxed ride to the airport becomes a paranoyed that im going to catch the traffic and misss ny flight one! Mel call her fam and asks about the traffic, and if there's a better way to go and all that, easing all our minds a little. And........
We get there on time-ish, just over 30mins til my INTERNATIONAL flight, running (Janye and I) with my bags and stuff up and down the airport looking for where to check in, then running (now with MEl too), to the gates where i say goodbye and get security checked. what a trip so far!! Then, they full body-check me, first time for that. By now I have about 10 mins to sit down, get my mag out to start reading, then put it straight back to board! The rest of my trip went perfectly, stopped for 3hrs in Seattle, found a really cute shop... ate dinner at 10 at night!! then baorded agian for the 5hr flit to NY. Got there around 6:30 their time the next morning, having MAYBE 1hr sleep, to Jonanthan and Mitch, (not mick!) picking me up. Mitch had a silly moment, picking up another girls stuff thinking she was me!! Then i went home, kids came for the daycare, we went ot get breaky, and i helped watch the kids all day. Educational!! We ahd a family study last night too, which was really nice. Another sister and bother from rhe hall came too. It was the WT for this week, which I had done on the 9 row plane from Kelowna, so i had it easy :p

Now im about to go out in street service, so have to get ready in only 7 mins!!!

love to you all

Jose :) :)
