Live from Newark!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, here I am, reporting to you, Live, On the spot from Liberty Newark International Airport, with the cosmopolitan skyline of New York obscured by the giant cranes loading containers off ships from the riverfront. Not the view I had hoped for....
Well, after all the deliberations regarding the excess baggage, I ended up with one very heavy, very cumbersome suitcase, and one which was just about under the maximum free baggage regulation. Fearing I'd have to pay through my nose to get the white elephant on board, I cautiosly approached the baggage counter, and explained my unique travel plan, that led me to buy two separate tickets for what could be accomplished with one, and the excess baggage. surprisingly, I was able to get my cargo tagged and automatically forwarded to Delhi, and ended up just paying $25 extra for the overweight suitcase. Now, let's hope that my precious belongings get there safe and sound...

The flight from Sarasota to Newark was somewhat faster than expected, as I landed in Newark a full 25 minutes before schedule. During the flight, I was feeling somewhat Gassy, rather like an LNG pipeline, as my intestines rumbled and roared within. So as soon as I got off the plane, I found a restroom and produced the longest fart ever to be rendered by my anus. I swear I could have got the aircraft from Sarasota to Newark just with that prodigious stream of plasma.

On emptying my innards, I proceeded to consume the following-


1. A bottle of sparkling Acqua Minerale
2. A glass of Clos-du-bois 2002 Merlot Red, which accompanied a-
3. A 10 - oz. Filet Mignon, done medium but a bit charred on the edges,
4. A plate of Mushrooms sauteed in butter.
5. A couple of hard bread rolls, with unsalted butter.


Total cost- An unreasonable $ 55.


That should keep me nicely settled for a while.

And here I am, It's about seven-thirty, sand they begin boarding in a half hour; finishing off what will be my last post from America. Which brings me to think about the very purpose of this blog. I hope it has been as enjoyable and informative for my audience, as it has been for me to write.

Thank you, Everybody.
