Adventures in Traveling

Well, my checked bag weighed 48 pounds; Kelsey’s only weighed 43, and Ali’s was a whole whopping 52, so we took out a couple things and threw them into my carry-on. Thankfully I have had lots of experience going through security, or else I wouldn’t have made it with how much stuff I had to get through the x-ray. With four bins, including my shoes, lap top, camera, jacket, bag of liquids and gels, then my big heavy carry-on and a large purse, I managed to never even hold up the line, and it all went through just fine! I rock at getting through security! The flight to JFK was fine, except for the unavoidable long wait when we landed and had to wait to get into the gate—of course I had to go to the bathroom really bad, and the fasten seat belt sign was on. Luckily I made it. At JFK there was a pigeon flying around INSIDE at our gate. Luckily no yucky white stuff landed on me. The rest of the trip was fine, except for the airport ate my bag up pretty bad—brand new and already has a hole in it! Jerusalem is incredible. It is better than I could even imagine! I love it here.
