Arriving New York JFK AIRPORT

Tweet

After 17 long hours trip, that was my first long flight abroad. The long wait was finally over and seeing the nyc skyline kind of gives you excitement that you can never imagine. Coming along the trip was the body ache from too much sitting in the plane. The first touchdown was smooth and the rush was kind of different its like you wouldn’t mind the aches when getting your luggages. The only letdown in departing planes, since we have a senior citizen passenger e were the last to depart. But the good thing theres no bumping with other passengers anymore. The first time i came near the door plane i got the chills. A different blast of cold air splashed my whole body eve i was wearing a jacket. That was my first taste of ny air. Freezing cold air eve though we we’re inside the airport. Then we were guided by airport personnel assisting us all the way to immigration. Of course we skipped the long lines again since we were with a senior citizen lane. It was long but i felt a bit organized than any other airport. After passing thru immigration, getting the luggages next then we’re out and surprise to see my sister there with additional jackets to wear. Hugs and the excitement were there. At first I felt awkward wearing lots of jackets on and pretty bulky and heavy. But I soon understand why because as we got out the temperature got colder and colder. We all laugh as we rode the car immediately. We passed the city and was nice first glimpse of ny city. My sister lives outside New York city. Was nice to see ny suburb. Trees abound but looked lifeless since it was supposed to spring season but they say it’s officially still winter. In fact, when we arrived there were still lots of ice lying in the streets which is something different from where I came from. While we got out of the city lots of stories were exchange till we reached home finally then you realized the effects of being jet lagged you feel sleepy in the morning and awake at night.
