jfk airport has got to be the most run down airports that i have seen recently! anway i'm flying delta so i had to walk over two teriminals. i found my gate, ate lunch, got my fill of starbucks and then sat near my gate. what do i find but my beloved hotspot working in the gate area? so i checked my flight status on line. i found out my gate changed, so i had to rush over to the other wing. when i got there, my hotspot no longer worked and there was no one at the gate. so i checked the screen again and it said my old gate number for my flight! so i rushed back where i happily sat about 15 minutes ago only to realize that the delta air website may not have the most up to date info. phewy!
anyway i was hating being stuck at jfk for hours and hours. i think i got out of customs at about 11 am. it is now 1:30 or so and i still have another hour to go before my flight takes off for boston!!!
getting through the immigrations was really pleasant. the officer just asked me if i was on vacation. so i said yes. she stamped my passport and that was that. i love it! love it, love it!
[edit]
wooh - let me correct myself. to recap: my ticket said gate 29. internet info said gate 17 so i go there. then see that the screens now say gate 29 again. so i go back there. only to find out after asking a flight agent that it really is 17! so am i at gate 17? nope. before i logged off the internet (b/c hotspot works near gate 29, but not gate 17) i looked up which gates the hotspot works near. so yeah, i'm no where near the gate i'm supposed to be departing from. why? my flight was delayed an hour and a half! it wouldn't be so bad except that i have been waiting for the 2:35 pm flight since 11 am and now the new departure time is 4:30 pm!
