I'm HEEERE! I'm actually here! I still can't believe it! But it's true... AND I have a permanent smile on my face that I can't seem to get rid of :D
So excited for this adventure to start, well it has already started. Haha. I have to tell you about the crazy day of travelling I had yesterday!
So I woke up at 8am at my mums house in Karlskrona. Got the train to copenhagens airport at around 09.45am.
Of course there were some problems with the train on the way so I got a bit scared I would miss my flight, but it all worked out and I managed to get just on time to the airport.
The first flight was back to London Heathrow where I would change to my New York flight.
And you CANNOT belive what happened in London!
So I'm flying with Virgin Atlantic to New York and I go to their transfer desk to check in on my flight and get a boarding pass. But I was told that my flight had been overbooked so I wouldn't be able to get a seat. Whaaat? Was my first thought... I couldn't believe I wasn't going to get to New York after all the excitment. I was told that of course Virgin would pay for a hotel and cover all costs and I was like... well there's not much to do about it.
Then another girl was on the phone trying to sort everything out, other than me there was a danish family that also couldn't get on the flight. After having spoken to the ticket office on the phone she asked us to come around so she would explain what was going to happen.
Good news! ---- We have sorted tickets for you to get on the 8.05pm flight instead. (That was 3 hours later than my previous flight).
AND evern BETTER NEWS, you will get 715 dollars in compensation money!!!!!!
Say whaaaaaat??!!! I honestly couldn't believe what she was saying! They will give me 715 dollars for putting me on a 3 hour later flight?!?! Is someone kidding me??
Well no, it wasn't a joke and 40 minutes later I could go and pick up 715 dollars in cash at the nearest Travelex!
I OFFICIALLY LOVE VIRGIN ATLANTIC!
Then the flight to New York went very smoothly. They have AMAZING airplanes that are so modern and clean and the people working on the plane were so friendly.
This is definitley my new favourite airline!!!!
We got into New York at 11pm. Not too bad I thought. At least it's still sunday here. I had only slept about 40 min to 1 hour on the plane because I wanted to be able to go to sleep as soon as I got to my flat. So i was pretty tired!
Customes took 1 hour 30 minutes! Worst que of my life!
Then I found out of course my luggage was lost. So had to fill out a lost property application.
Around1.15am I got out to try and catch the bus to NYC: Couldn't find a bus that time of night so decided to get a Taxi.
I just needed to get here and to sleep!
Got to the flat at around 2.45am.
Long day with a lot of things happening!
I passed out pretty quick and woke up at 7.30am.
Will probably die tonight from being so tired!
Wow now I've written so much and there are still more to say.....
To try and not keep this going forever I am now going to try and find something to eat and explore the area.
Will write another update later tonight about my home and my first day in New York :)
