Planes, Trains, & Automobiles: THE MOVE

Plane ticket.........check
Boxes shipped....check
Bags packed.......sorta check
Ready to go.......not really

One thing I will say about myself is I can be quite the procrastanator, I can save anything I dont want to do for the very last minute and in this case I literally waited till the very last second! It was 10:15am when I was finally done packing, and we had to leave to pick my dad up to go to the airport at 10:10! Ahhhhhhh!! Needless to say we made it to the airport on time, said my sad goodbyes.
And off I went, it didnt even feel real, it felt more like a vacation.

The flight was awful. It was one thing after another, the worst turbulence I have ever been in, in my life!!! You could see/feel the whole plane moving. And my stomach along with every other stomach on the plane could NOT handle that! To make matters worse we had been circling the SLC airport for over 30 minutes, all I wanted was to get off the damn plane, get some fresh air, and get some water before I ended up like every other person on the plane!
I didnt even want to take the connecting flight to JFK, thats how bad I was feeling!!!
But the flight to JFK was smooth, it was great, it was quite, and my dad and I met a very nice New Yorker, who gave me tons of great tips, as well as reassurance that I was safe!

Im in NEW YORK! Well, sorta, JFK airport. Where it just so happened that 3 of my 4 checked bags appeared, and of course Delta tells me that all the bags are out....Great! The funniest part was that when we changed planes to JFK, my dad & I saw those 3 bags going into the plane and were curious about the 4th. My questions were mounting...do I even remember what was in that bag, I knew it wasnt my shoe bag, but was it my jewelry and some clothes, who knows I was in such a frantic pack mode that I had no idea what was in what bag!!
All I knew was that I couldnt have come all the way to NY and be missing a bag! This day was not going well, already 2 bad signs :(
After about 45 minutes of talking with Delta and going round and round rechecking other carousels they tell us not all the bags came out...and this couldnt have been known in the first place?!?! Ugggh...its going on 12:45am Wednesday and all I want is some sleep!
My dad and I had a big day planned for Monday:
-See NYC! (havent been back since 5th grade!!)
-Meet my roommate (who is also working with me)!!
-See my apartment (that literally took our blood & first born to get)
So EXCITED!
