JFK Departures

Arrived safe and sound with luggage in tow at JFK airport, ready and checked in for departures. Now sitting in the departure lounge, can see FMB's Virgin Atlantic flight outside waiting to take off! Everyone's sad to go and by the sound of it has had as great a time as we have, all the FCP girls are looking through pictures and rummaging through hand luggage, or flicking through copies of Now, Glamour and Vogue. (standard fashion students!) Lucy, Julia, Hannah, Carrie and I are sat in a circle (discussing men) when we realise that actually....we're in completely the other end of the lounge to anyone else we know, and we appear to be waiting with a group boarding a plane to the far east. Excellent news.


Me and Luce head to the nearest food outlet for dinner, (burgers seem like the best way forward) so after talking for ages to a transfixed American waiter (no, we are not sisters, and yes, thank you, we are aware our accent is sexy to you) we leave with our dinner and head back to the others. It is only when we have sat back down ready to eat that Lucy lets out a shriek (again, standard) and everyone turns to look. Oh God. "WHAT is THAT!!?" That, Lucy, is the biggest gherkin you'll ever see.


Once the offending gherkin has been removed and we've spent about an hour mopping up the huge spillage of coke that SOMEONE (LucyBudgecough.)spilled all over the floor, we head for the sweet shop to stock up on in - flight goodies.


This is going to be a long flight! See you when we get back to the U.K!
