Home sweet home

A normal 15 hour plane ride has turned into over 20 hour travel.  It started off with standing in line at Entebbe airport for over 1 hour to just check my bags in.  Then as we are getting ready to board, we were told that the flight is delayed due to refueling because the new equipment is not working and need to do it the old fashion way.  Of course this totally cause me to miss my connection into Newark.  I have the option of flying into JFK and find my way back to NJ or spend the night London and leave the next day without access to my checked bags.  I just wanted to get home with I chose JFK.

Ended up chatting with a guy from Brighton who was visiting his dad.  We had coffee and just talk about every thing.  Met some other Americans who are staying in the UK as well.  So many interesting people and people are so friendly.

Finally arrived in JFK and through the custom by 11pm and got to NYC Penn station by 12:30am to take the last train into my neighborhood.  Then randomly caught a taxi back to my apartment.  Finally home at 1:30am.  So tired, needed sleep before diving into the massive paperwork for residency, prepping my move and just taking care of errands.  Will post some pics once get settled.
