Last American Exit
After an exhausting day in NYC I am 35 minutes from boarding Virgin Atlantic Flight 10 to Heathrow London!
The day started early at 4 am with a little breakfast, a goodbye to my Father and a ride with Momma to the Buffalo Airport. The Jet Blue flight was bumpier than usual but the TV's always take care of that. I landed at JFK and had to lug all my bags around to have them stored for the day. The price was $48. I took the Airtrain into Jamaica and hopped on the LIRR to Penn Station. When I got to Madison Square Garden, the security guard gave me a day pass without asking a single question. That will come in handy next time I want to sneak in a game. I ran into a few people who I worked with such as Bobby Mills and Mike Breen. I had a ton of time to kill so I took a nap in the LIRR waiting room while Annie finished up her work. I met her on 44th street as she treated me to the new Broadway musical "Lennon". I must say the show was good but I'm not sure John would approve of his masterpieces sang is such Broadway gaydom, or flair as Annie called it. After the show we jumped across the street to John's restaurant and had some Italian. She got a call from work and had to bounce so I met Casey Moore at bar for a beer. After that I was so tired, so I took the E train to Jamaica/Sutphin Blvd. to catch the AirTrain. That brings me to the Virgin Atlantic desk and to the terminal. This Internet is costing me $7.95 for an hour but you know me and my habits. I am honestly nervous, but that may be due to my lack of sleep and amount of sweat released throughout the day. I want to thank everyone who shared words of encouragement because it really means a lot to me. I hope to get a post up tomorrow explaining how bad it's gonna suck for me to get my bags all over the British Isles!
At least I'm not in Louisiana!

Mike- Can't wait to here about your first experiences abroad. I am nervous for you too! Hope you keep this up so I can live vicariously through you while I sit here in Jamestown.
Have fun!
Mike, you lucky bastard. You get to stare at hot chicks with bad teeth for 7 motns! You will be fine. Enjoy the fish & chips and Guinny's for lunch.
Those hot chicks may have bad teeth but they also have large breasts...ok maybe the Queen has medium breasts but her teeth are pretty nice.
