leaving for london and paris

this is a picture of me leaving my apartment to catch my plane to london. i'm a light packer. some highlights on the way to the airport was a little girl who was tragically seperated from her family on the airtrain. her parents couldn't decide whether or not to get on. finally her mom said yes, the little girl jumped on first and the doors closed. if you have ever taken the airtrain from jfk you know that these aren't doors that are easliy stopped by sticking your hand in between the two doors (you might lose it). she immediately started crying (this is totally going to scar her for life). this lovely man escorted her off the next stop and then the stop after that a man that worked for the airport was circling the car i was on and i told him that the little girl was one stop back. i'm sure she was reunited with her family.
i had lots of beer and wine thinking it would help me sleep on the plane. it didn't work. it just made me dehydrated and loopy.
