Day 100: Madrid to New York City
September 3: Got up very early this morning to catch a flight from Madrid airport to London Heathrow airport, then onto New York´s JFK airport.
Problems still with British Airways food (catering company contract dispute), but did at least get something small.
Caught a taxi to some relatives in Long Island and spent a few hours sleeping on their front lawn and observing the aeroplanes flying overhead, before heading inside to meet the family.
The mother is second cousins with my mum - and the mother of the person I stayed with in Chicago. Nice to finally meet them!
Spent the remainder of the afternoon relaxing and chatting. Had an early night, New York is six hours behind Spain... very tired, long day.
Will be in New York for two and a half weeks, should be lots of fun... especially being there during end of US Open and the summer!
