Meeting the Yankees for the first time

Written Commentary from a child:

Throughout the flight to New York, I hardly slept at all but just TWO half hour naps in between. By then, Mommy and Daddy were feeling a bit rough and considered stuffing my mouth with some socks. And then when we arrived at US immigration in New York City and Mommy saw the longest queue, she decided that she was going to fake an epilepsy fit just so we could get a move on our journey. After all, we still had another leg to Orlando, another 6 hours inclusive transit time. Standing and carrying bags or babies was just not Mommy’s thing.

When we finally got to the immigration booth, the defining moment of whether you stay or leave a country, I stuck my finger in my nose and pulled out a booger the size of a golf ball. It was light brown but that was just the beginning till we breathed the very polluted New York air. Immediately spotted by the immigration officer who screamed for help, Mommy panicked and told me to stop playing tricks on people. We were allowed into the country instantly, which I assume had something to do with the American way of life, and as soon as Mommy thanked the officer, he said, “Well, at least she didn’t eat it!!! We still do it here as adults!” Thank you very much, officer.

On the American Airlines plane with only two male stewards (such an eye-opener for us Asians!), I slept all the way. I slept for a whole 6 hours on the tail end of our 38 hour journey and then slept throughout whilst Mommy and Daddy whisked me off to the hotel in Orlando which Tok-Tok got a discount for us. More waiting awaited Mom and Dad when they realised that we needed a taxi with an accompanying child car seat in it before they’d allow us on.

What a blinking pain!!!

*yawn* I’m so jet-lagged that I will continue my story again tomorrow.
