Little Adventure: Slow ride

This is obviously out of order, but it's my blog so I can post things in whatever order I want to. These photos are from the trip over here - I think I intended to put them up when I got here, but then I was jetlagged for about 2 days and completely forgot I had taken them. Until today... when I found them while browsing my photos instead of doing work.

Completely exhausted and slightly hungover, I get myself an Egg McMuffin (no ham) and a large OJ in the Denver Airport. This always sounds like a good idea, but it rarely is. I regretted this decision almost immediately (although the OJ was good).

Lake Michigan on the flight from Denver to New York.

Emma! Look what showed up on the map!

One of these touch screens was on the back of every seat. The best feature was the trivia. I am "A." I played several games - each game consisted of 20 questions.

YEAH!!!! I won 2 games out of the 4 or 5 that I played. I always placed in the top 3. Take that, OTHER PASSENGERS.

The Atlantic Ocean.

The New York City skyline.

Upon landing in New York, we were informed that we would have to wait a few minutes to pull up to our gate. We arrived early, and the plane that was at our gate hadn't departed yet. Just 10-15 minutes, said the pilot. But then 45 minutes passed. At about that time, the pilot announced to us, "gate management is very important," and then we sat there for another 15 minutes. At about this one hour of sitting on the plane and not moving at all mark, the pilot informed us that our plane would be towed to the gate. It was kind of a long time, and there were a lot of babies on this plane... but I just remembered Louis C.K.'s words of wisdom and laughed quietly to myself.

I was very hungry when I got to New York, so I went into Chili's. This was on the wall directly in front of me. The best part is what is the bit on the left.

"What To Look For:

1. The victim collapses

2. The victim cannot speak of breathe

3. The victim turns blue"

I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my salmon and rice.

Dinner on the flight from New York to Budapest. This was actually pretty tasty. AND the price for the meal must have been included in the ticket price, because I didn't have to give them any money at meal time. They just gave it to me.
