CARIBBEAN, HERE I COME!

Nothing like waiting until the morning of to really finish packing! Tee called me a 'diva' because I took all these bags. I guess she's right. But it is a 2-week trip!

So, off I went to the airport! Thanks Tee for driving me.



Went to check my 2 bags. Realized it's 1 bag free, then $25 for each additional bag. Forget that! I checked one and carried on the other and my backpack!

Got to my seat - WINDOW Y'ALL!


A few minutes later...





Here's a few pics I took along the way...

Are those crop circles???

I believe that this was the Mississippi River!

At about this point, I paid $4.00 for cheese and crackers. I feared being charged to use the restroom, so I just held it until I landed.

Sunset from the plane. What a sight!


Finally made it to NYC at about 9:50pm (EST). About a mile walk to baggage claim, but I saw this, which was comforting...


Saw D.L. Hughley while on my way to baggage claim - he was on my plane! Asked for a pic, but he was tired from the trip. No biggie, he was a nice guy either way!

Got my bag, another walk to the AirTrain, which took me to the Hotel Shuttle area, which I took over to the Holiday Inn JFK.

The room's not half bad...


Went downstairs and ate an appetizer of calamari, hot wings, and moosa-rella sticks!!! It was 'just ok'

Overall, it's been a great travel day and I'm looking forward to getting some sleep and heading out to the ship tomorrow morning.

(These are only select pictures for this post. I will be putting ALL of my pics up on a gallery soon. I'll post the link once that's available.)
