View Full Version : I got to the airport too early

I'm at JFK right now, my flight backto London is at 6:30pm and I got to the airport at 3pm. So now I just have to sit around and browse BF, while that's no bad thing, being away from everything (including BF) for two weeks was a great refresher. Anyway, I have a massage booked in another 45 minutes to ease the pain of having not much to do and plenty of time to do it in.

And that's all.

Actually, I might as well tell you that I hired one of those bikes that everyone curses, one of those that you get from Wallmart. Dont recall the name, something like a Huffy but not quite a Huffy. BUT IT WAS REAL COMFORTABLE compared to my road bike. That thing just glided over bumps and I soon found myself not having to lift my 4SS over ANY bumps. It was slow as heck though but I managed to get to various places in Manhattan on it. I'll post a review when I upload the pics.

I was looking at prices and for the first time I was amazed that the UK IS CHEAPER THAN USA. For example a Specialized Tarmac Comp is about £100 cheaper in UK. Fancy that huh?

Maybe go pig-out at the Deep Blue Sushi bar?

Fancy that huh?Folk in the US have been buying bike junk from your internet retailer for some time now, for just that reason. I took advantage when the exchange rate was very favorable and saved a (metric) boatload o' cash.

Go world economy, I guess.

Oy, I hate getting to the airport too early. At least you have internet.

You can go through the security a couple more times. Should be a hoot.

I'd hate to think about the total amount of time I've wasted sitting around at airports.

I thought you were going to say that since you arrived so early, you were forced to buy a copy of Bicycling Magazine. Tragedy averted!
