It’s 7pm right now. Yesterday at this time I should have been taking off from JFK International Airport on jetBlue flight 47 to Fort Lauderdale. Long story short, I landed in the 954 at 1:30AM.
Let’s start from the beginning.
I left my form for the airport at 4, got there at 5, only to find out that my flight had been delayed from 7 to 8. Not such a big deal since jetBlue has the COOLEST terminal at JFK (as I’ve mentioned in certain videos from last year). So I check in, go through security, and find my gate.
Now the flights been delayed till 8:45.
Now 9.
Now 9:30.
They stopped updating it after that. But we didn’t take off until 10:30. I should have been IN MY HOUSE by then.

At around 12:30, we were almost here, when the pilot comes on the intercom and says we are going to take a detour over The Bahamas (pictured above from the GPS channel on board) to avoid some turbulence and we should be on the ground at about 20 after the hour.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: We are going 50 minutes out of the way, to avoid a couple bumps? Which, by the way, was completely ineffective since it was an extremely turbulent 50 minutes.
We finally landed at 1:30.
The best words in the English language: “jetBlue would like to be the first to welcome you to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.”
Anyway, now that that’s over with, I’m here in the coop for 9 days. Party.
