Kris in the Big Apple



Well, after several horrible airline meals, a 2 hour delay in Detroit, and having to put up with an annoying Spanish guy rocking the seat infront of me, I finally made it.

Im in New York City.

And right now it is 2:30 in the morning. I have fallen victim to jet lag...

Although the delay in Detroit was a pain, it did provide me with an amazing view of Manhattan at sunset. As the plane passed Liberty Island, the Labyrinth of Skyscrappers came into view with the sun projecting it's late orange afternoon light upon them.

It's the strangest feeling. Really indescribable. When I see landmarks such as, the Statue of Liberty, or the Empire State building. Its like I finally realize that these famous places exist. Sure, I have seen them in the movies, on TV, and in all kinds of books and pictures, but when I see them with my own eyes they come alive in my mind. They are finally real.

My view of the NYC skyline disappeared as my plane landed in Laguardia airport. My sister and her husband were there to pick me up. It was nice to see familair faces.



And now I am sitting infront of my sister's laptop, listening to music, trying ignore that fact that I am wide awake.

Can't wait to go out for a breakfast bagle and coffee...

Oh well, a few more hours.
