Still have 3+ hours of a 5 hour layover at JFK. You cash in miles for a first class ticket, you have a full days pass to the Admirals Club, and flying still sucks. The monkey seems to enjoy travel, though I don't think he was too happy when I left him in the coat closet of the JFK flight, and a flight attendant dumped her flight case on him. If we had an unlimited amount of time, I guess we could have gone Amtrak.
Down to 2 hours before the D.C. flight. I'm in terminal 9 at JFK. So new it's still under construction Should probably eat before the flight. Hmm, what are the chances of finding some good food in an airport? Did I mention first class sucks? The meal was a turkey and swiss croissant sandwich and half a salad. Made that joke of a cafeteria at work look like fine dining. Scary.
At least the bar at the Hotel Washington should still be open when I get in. It's an 18th floor rooftop terrace with a great view of the Washington Monument, or so say the guidebooks. I'll take a picture. Speaking of pictures, I'm
thinking the monkey will be a lot more photogenic than I will, so be warned. Think of it as "Where in the World is ddr2monkey?"
