Day 16 - Leaving on a jet plane (again)

Time to head out of the USA.  I went into Manhattan for the final time to do some shopping and banking before final packing.  I had a really friendly taxi driver out to JFK airport who was fascinated with Australia and wanted to know how different it is from America.

JFK is a dirty and unfriendly airport!  The staff were generally quite rude, and nobody cracks a smile.  I was pleased to get out of there.

I flew BA and was thrilled when the plane was only half full so I had 3 seats to myself. I watched "Love and other drugs"- quite light hearted, then tried to get some sleep after a few gins.  Unfortunately it was one of the bumpiest flights I have ever been on so that didn't go to plan.  It was still nice to be horizontal, but not easy sleeping whilst in a seat belt and the plane is ducking and weaving!!  Flat land is going to be fabulous.
