Delays, New York, and First Class

This is Brad posting, (rare, i know).  Well, I was supposed to fly home on Saturday.  At the time we were getting a lot of snow in Boston.  About 6 inches had already fallen by the time I got to the airport.  My airline said that we would have a minor delay, about 20 minutes or so.  Two hours later we finally took off.  I ended getting to JFK right as my connecting flight was taking off, and missed it.  After waiting in line for about 4 hours to rebook my flight, I was told I couldn't leave until the next day. :(  However, on the up side the only seat left was business class.   So, with 24 hours to waste, I decided to go see NYC.

I went to Times Square and had a look around.  I also got to see the 2009 that will be lit up when the ball drops on New Years Eve.  They're a lot smaller than I thought they were.
Times Square also had a few interesting places I'd never seen before: a public bathroom and lounge sponsored by Charmin and Duracell and a place called M&M's world.  Pretty cool.


I finally went back to the airport and boarded my plane (it was on time) and flew home in a nice, comfy first class seat.  Gotta love free first class upgrades.
