Hi Everyone,
We are on our way. Up at 4 am. The shuttle arrived at 5 am on the dot. Then through security and the pat down, we headed straight for a good all American meal - McDonalds!

Then trying to connect to the free hot spot was a challenge - Or maybe it’s the fact that when you buy a brand new computer two days before a big trip, maybe you need to try it out at Starbucks first.
More to come it’s only 7 a.m. - Day 1.



Well now it's 2:30 EST - I finally got hooked to the internet. We are 2 hours into our 7 hour layover in NYC. Nice airport. Nothing too exciting. Lots of time to write our thoughts, but not much to share just yet.

This is Marty; at JFK, and at Starbucks they don't know how to do a DoubleShot on ice :-(. No milk...just 2 shots of expresso over ice, leaving the cup about 3/4 empty. Guess you have to specifically ask for milk here in NY.

Now the long wait continues...had a good roast beef au ju sandwich, but had to take out a second mortgage on the house to pay for it along with the beer...which was Brooklyn Lager on draft (yummy). That's it for now...post more later as this adventure "across the pond" continues...
