And We're Off!!! (almost)

We have begun our journey a quarter of the way 'round the world (minus a few folks meeting us at JFK or Istanbul). HIGHLIGHT: Jared's suspenders...... Only 5 hours until the airport! Or traffic... Who knows...

HIGHLIGHT: 

Heidi: "oh look, there's a ..."

Liz: "a tree?"

Heidi: "Adriana, I don't think I'll every lose you."

Adriana: "Just find the girl who asks the stupid questions!"

Bus driver's phone rings;

Adriana: "Hello?"

Heidi and front of the bus dies laughing...

We're getting so close! The best pic I could get of Manhattan. The Empire State Building is in the center and the newly built Freedom Tower is on the far left. Thanks to Andrew for the insight!

And this, my friends, is JFK International Airport (2 hours until check-in though....).

The pains of waiting.... Sitting with bags and playing cards...

Some of us kinda hogged the charging station (myself included).

And for the next 10 hours, these will be our best friends... Until then, ECGT signing off.
