The trip was a success even with a series of unfortunate events that we will get to in another post, and I apologize in advance for the multiple lengthy posts.
Day one: We took a redeye with two layovers on Friday night. Well, I guess Saturday morning. It left at 12:50am. I was in the middle seat, Leslie had the window, and large army man who could have been Brendan Fraser's twin had the aisle. We were getting settled in and cracking ourselves up as usual. The army man thought we were funny too and entered the conversation by saying, "I can't wait for the flight attendant movie." I had no idea what he was talking about, but Leslie said, "Oh yeah! She is terrifying!" They told me all about the woman's high cheek bones, small nose and raised eyebrows. Just as one of our flight attendants walk by, Leslie said, "She has the highest cheek bones I've ever seen." The flight attendant pipped in with, "That's because God didn't give them to her." We were all laughing so hard that we had tears. It didn't help that it was 1:00am and everything was funny at that point. When the safety video started, she came back around and said something along the lines of, "Smile big! Everything's paid for! I would know, I was her roommate."
The first flight was about four hours and I slept for 30 minutes. Roommate gave me a motion sickness pill called Bonine to help me sleep on the next two flights. It knocked me out. When we finally got to her sister's house in Ithaca, New York, or "U Nork" as her niece calls it, I passed out on the couch for hours. Apparently roommate's niece and nephew were dancing and singing in the living room while I was hibernating. They were running around the ottoman and pushing me every time they passed and I didn't feel a thing. No more Bonine for me.
When I finally came to, we went to a cider press. We got there just in time to watch the whole process and then sample some fresh cider. Amazing. They also make their own doughnuts.
Cider + Doughnut = Fall.
Who knew that apples taste so much better in New York?

My favorite part of that video is when the other flight attendant says "you cannot smoke, I'm so sorry". I dont know why but it makes me laugh everytime. Perhaps it's the way she says it or that I'm pretty sure it's not her voice at all. Listen.
hahahaha! "smoking... is not allowed..." *shakes finger* i also like that asian man in the life vest. so funny.
