Back in New York

So I'm back in New York....I got in Tuesday night and have pretty much been doing nothing since then...though I did manage to get some real coffee into my system and eat a real New York bagel.  Yum, yum, yum.  My parents also took me out to eat on the South Shore and we ended up at Robert Moses State Park to watch the sunset.  I guess I have been doing something...

Anyway, I'm pretty tired still from everything...so my plan here is to lay pretty low...do some shopping and see some friends this weekend.  I'll be back in Vancouver late Sunday night.

Oh, and my flight!   Thanks to all of you who asked and prayed....it went off without a hitch---security in Heathrow did take a while but I talked to some nice people from Mexico in the queue.  And despite a good frisking, I did manage to smuggle in a small vial of eye drops which I left non-chalantly in my pants pocket.  The Aquaphor also made it despite 2 x-rays and a physical bag check.   I'm not sure what to make of this? 

Anyway---I also got upgraded to the economy class with more leg room, that was really nice.  Actually, I got there early enough to get that seat next to the emergency door, before business class...so I had a ton of leg room and with no one sitting next to me, I was pretty much my own island.  I was very happy, and apparently, so were the people around me---I've never heard so many people sound so vocally pleased with their seats. 

British Airways did lose one of my bags though---the one with all the chocolate, notes, directory of Caux people...I'm still waiting for it.
