My first week in America is almost over, luckily I’ve got another 10 to go (or there abouts). Its been a pretty hectic week, started off in London Heathrow last Saturday, felt it was necessary to have my last alcoholic beverage before I left, so I promptly went to the bar and had a pint or three, with a couple of friends…. I’m not going to drink by myself, that would make me an alcoholic.

After having a couple of drinks we boarded our plane and all was going to plan, until we got onto the tarmac and we had a 2 and a half hour delay, once we were on the tarmac we were stuck on the plane. Not Cool. We eventually got in the air and that is when the summer started to get fun.  Delta gave us complimentary beer on the flight, which we took full advantage of and may, or may not have, got a little bit tipsy whilst 30,000feet in the air – it was pretty damn awesome until we were landing into JFK and wondering if we were going to get through customs or not (Wrigley’s extra saved the day).

Once we cleared customs and got our bags it was around 10:55 – we had a train from Grand Central Terminal to Chapaqua, NY, exactly an hour later, pretty mad rush but thanks to some mad French man we made it, and it only costs $20 (with tip!), at this point we were all pretty exhausted, so we got our selves on the train and tried not to fall asleep, I was the only one of our group who was successful at this – the snoring on the train was hysterical, I wish I could have taken a photo.
