Took a bit of effort, really. By the time I was in my seat, it was already the scheduled departure time.
I got some nice shots of planes arriving and taxiing to the takeoff lanes. I find I am quite fond of planes.
It seems we are flying outside of the WiFi coverage area, so I won’t be able to upload this post until I land.
We have decided to take the train to Poughkeepsie today.
My uncle has seen the trip on a travel show over in the UK and would like to experience it himself. I do have a certain fondness for passages by train.
I am also hoping to get away from some of the taller buildings to get a nice view of the land and river.
After lunch, we visited the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
Walked about two kilometers and got some nice shots of monarch butterflies and mockingbirds.
Had WiFi problems and didn’t upload the images, and then later I lost the photos with a failed HDD.
Thankfully, I was later able to recover the images, and I have included them here in a great gallery of the Wildlife Refuge.
Looks like heavy rain on Tuesday and scattered storms on Wednesday.
We may take the rental pickup truck for a drive around Brooklyn and the area.
After a long cab ride to the apartment, I have now settled in.
Had a cup of coffee and biscuits with my uncle, catching up on family matters.
It has been 11 years since we last saw one another, and I am happy to be here.
Seemed like we were only in the air for less than an hour before the captain said we were arriving. I took some shots of clouds on the way.
I eat the feta chicken wrap I bought at RDU. As I got through the second half, I realized there was barely any cheese in it.
So decided to get some food and visit the bathroom during my wait.
Figures the plane became “un-delayed” while I was gone.
The gate was nigh empty upon my arrival and they were calling my name over the PA system.
Luckily, I was able to board, and now all I see is clouds.
Thanks for joining me.
I am about to fly to Brooklyn (NY) to see my family.
