Friday, May 4th: New York to Seattle

It was time for last ditch shopping before checking out of our hotel. Seeing as I was done mid-afternoon yesterday, I had one shop to go to, Muji, and they didn't open until 11.

So my morning got off to a leisurely start. Until I stupidly tried to buy sneakers at 11:34am when I needed to be out of the hotel at 12pm. And I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit by a car on 34th. :(

Maim and I convened in the lobby at 12ish and headed out for some lunch. We then made our way to Macy's to steal WiFi and sort out some last minute accommodation in Seattle.

We then wandered the streets aimlessly until it was time to head to the airport. Maim reluctantly agreed to leaving at 3:30pm for a 6:30pm flight, which turned out to be a good thing seeing as it took an hour to get there and another hour to check in and clear security.

I managed to win The Weighting Game by shedding a further 8lbs from my checked bag. So far, it's gone from 48.5lbs (SF to ABQ) to 46lbs (AUS to NYC) to 38lbs. We'll just ignore the fact that I'm now carrying approx. 26lbs ON MY PERSON. Someone please make me an appointment with my myotherapist for Monday, May 13? Thanks.

We then had a quick beer and snack before boarding our plane... And being delayed for nearly 2hrs. While waiting ON the plane. Boring.

I am updating the blogs mid-air. Well, I'm writing them at least. They'll be posted the next time I have WiFi. Which should be in around 3hrs.
