We board the plane and end up sitting on it for an hour past take off. Apparently the plane is "broken" and they are working on "fixing" it. It is so comforting to know that the metal tube that will soon be hurtling through the air at several hundred miles per hour is currently broken and will not be tested before it takes off with you inside. Sigh...
We get to New York... I know we are there because I can see the buildings and we begin circling. The weather is perfect, WTF? After a couple of circles the pilot comes on the intercom and informs us that Obama is flying out of JFK right now and that they have shut down the airspace while they load and take off. Thanks Obama!
We finally land and proceed to eating some Chili's in the JFK airport. In New York it is apparently mandatory that they put the calories of each menu item on the menu. It sure did make me think about what I was ordering. We decided to split a cheeseburger and fries for only like 600 calories each. We finish up and wonder around the airport. I'm waiting on Chris to use the bathroom and I see this guy dressed as I would call "ghettolicious" walking around with two cops and then two more cops following and pointing. I'm thinking to myself "Why?" Chris finishes with the bathroom and we start walking back towards our gate. In the line at the Sbarro, the cops are now taking pictures with this guy. WTF? It then dawns on me...

This guy is Flava Flav. He has the big clock and everything around his neck. Chris wants to go up and ask him to take a picture, but I tell him to let Flava Flav get his pizza in peace.We load up on the plane and off we go. They serve us dinner on the plane and it is actually a very yummy manicotti and salad and cheese and crackers and dessert. And there is free beer and wine!!!!! Woo hoo!!! I watch Adventureland and The Proposal and try to sleep but it is impossible.
