Am blogging this whilst waiting for security to open up at the airport.
The alarm went off at 1.50am and by 2.10am we were in the hotel lobby waiting for our 'SuperShuttle' transfer to the airport.
2.20 - call shuttle company, they say they will be there in under 15mins.
2.35 - no shuttle
2.45 - shuttle arrives
2.50 - shuttle has arrived at 93rd and Broadway (our hotel was at 94th and Broadway - yes we have moved one block) after going around a few blocks and picking up no one.
3.02 - shuttle has arrived at 94th and Broadway after picking up one passenger.
3.28 - two more passengers are on board and we are leaving the East side and finally on our way to the airport.
3.40 - arrive at La Guardia
WHAT THE FUCK?????? It literally took 12 mins to get to the airport.
3.41 - Ros identifies her bag in the back of the van for the shuttle driver.
3.42 - driver is struggling to pull Ros' bag out
3.43 - driver pulls out Ros' bag...with another, which is inextricably linked to it.
3.44 - Ros steps out in the rain to help the driver disentangle the two bags.
3.45 - Ros is getting soaked and leaves the driver to it, and proceeds to tell me to go help him. I said no. (He is a man, he created the problem, he can fix the problem).
3.46 - Ros can't bear to see the driver still struggling and once again goes to assist.
3.47 - Driver seemingly gives up, but assumingly goes to get a knife or some other sharp article to cut the bags apart. He leaves Ros fighting the battle.
3.48 - I decide I can't bear to see a perfectly good bag damaged and go to help Ros.
3.48 and 10 seconds - I determine the two bags have been twisted in one of the former processes and I untwist them by lifting the stranger's bag to a standing position.
3.48 and 15 seconds - I determine Ros' zipper has hooked into fabric of stranger's bag.
3.48 and 20 seconds - I have disengaged the two bags.
FUCKING GENIUS HEY!
FOR FUCK'S SAKE
4.35 - airport security opens
I COULD HAVE BEEN ASLEEP UNTIL 4.00AM
FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!
