Okay fine, that’s a bit dramatic, but I just wanted to use the title of that movie considering I was in New York this weekend. And also because well, I spent the entire weekend in New York and I never really posted anything on here about it.
So basically, I got up early Friday morning (5:30 am is early for me my friends) and got to the airport, where I parked the car in shuttle parking. $4/day? Not bad at all, I might add. The flights from OKC-Dallas-LaGuardia were boring and asinine. Have I expressed how much I dislike domestic flights in the US? It’s like they squeeze the seats together so that unless you’re 12 years old or younger there’s no way you can be comfortable. Food and drinks? Sure no problem! If you BUY their sandwich for $6. Ridiculous. So pathetic also that when I was flying domestic in India (INDIA, cough cough) the service felt like that of a 5 star hotel compared to American, Delta, etc. They bring out fresh towels when you get on, a drink as you settle in, some kind of snacks — and no we’re not talking peanuts — during the flight, and full service video and music all throughout. And this is economy/coach class we’re talking about.

I get to New York and stay at my cousin’s house and….
man…
I just realized this post is gonna be long if I do all the details. So let’s do this, I’m going to summarize. Ready?
- Friday
- Got to Aleena and Aaron’s house. Stayed there. Nisha came over, hung out. I fell off the patio, landed on my head. Negligible damage to Vinoj
- Saturday
- Left for wedding in Somerset, NJ at 8:30am. Drove my uncle’s car there. Arrived at 9:59am.
- Wedding begins at 11 am, and continues to dull my brain for the next few hours. Check messages re: my status during the wedding at Twitter.com
- Leave wedding, go to Elmont, NY, in Queens. Same place where the Triple Crown Horse Races are going on. Big problem when leaving at 6:30pm— travel 1 mile in 2 hours of being stuck in traffic
- Get to Gena, Millie, and Cheryl’s house at 9:45pm. Hang out for a bit. Leave at 11pm
- Back to Aleena and Aaron’s house at 11:30pm
- Sunday
- Get up at 6, get ready, go to airport.
- Leave NY at 10:30 am.

There. Done and done.
