Embarking!

After braving the monsoon (more on that later) and spending the better part of an hour getting out of Newburgh, we arrived at JFK. 

From there, it would be expected that we would spend hours checking our 12 bags of teaching supplies and fire gear, parking cars, finding and navigating TSA security and marching to the gate. All total, it was about a half hour for all of the above. In fact, at the hour mark, we are enjoying adult beverages and Buffalo Wild Wings at the gate!

Roughly an hour to take off. Once I have my laptop up and running I'll make a more detailed post.
