11:04 AM - NY LGA
I realized I should have written when I was waiting earlier at the STL airport but I forgot. 😬
Anyway, flight to LGA arrived early so now waiting for Myta and Myer to pick me up so we can have lunch at Jollibee! Woohoo!
So far, I am thankful for:
1. safe drive from the house to the airport. No ice. Roads were pretty dry after all.
2. parking was hitch-less...found a spot almost immediately.
3. arriving in NY safe and sound.
4:39 PM - NY JFK
In JFK now waiting for my next flight (to Madrid)... getting closer and closer. Have to wait 2 more hours.
I am thankful for:
1. lunch at Jollibee with Myer and Myta
2. relatively smooth check-in and security in JFK.

9:05 PM - Rome
Arrived safe in Rome. Thank you, God!
What started out as a relatively uneventful trip turned out to be nail-biting in the end....well, middle. Flight from JFK got delayed by 2.5 hours so what was supposed to be an easy 3.5-hour layover in Madrid turned out to be just a little over an hour of nervously waiting in line for immigration and then security and then running like crazy to the gate. Thankfully made it to the gate while they were still boarding.
Today, I am thankful for:
1. arriving safe and sound in Roma. Made it to my bus. I did buy a new SIM card, which was a bit expensive but I was in a real hurry to get to the bus and it was the first SIM store that I saw. Besides, after that whole fiasco with the flights, I decided I won’t complain about the little things anymore.
2. silver lining on the JFK-MAD delay - I’m just glad they found the electrical issue while we were still on the ground.
3. my first (of many, I hope) gelato in Italy!
4. Trevi fountain - I didn’t think there’d be that many tourists this time of year, but that place was packed.
And now, I sleep because I tired.
