This is it! Headed home! Every time they mention the air time for the flight it gets shorter. We are now down to a 3 hours 40 minute flight and we haven’t even left the ground. Oh, now we are paused at the gate while they do some maintenance. They are going to be speeding, I’m sure of it. It has been a great journey, but I’m looking forward to being home finally.
This is it kids. The last trip tattoo. Unless I decide to get one in Austin when I get home. Which is possible. I’m honestly a bit sad that it is almost over, but at the same time I am very anxious to get back home.
Drawn directly on my arm and then tattooed by Chad Koeplinger at the famous New York Adorned.

I got up early and took a cab out to Dulles since I had heard horror stories about long security lines and extra security measures. For me it was not so bad. I got patted down before I got on the plane, but otherwise I guess I got there early enough that the lines were fine. The airport was kind of crazy huge tho.
This was also my first time visiting the famous Terminal 5 (or T5 as the jetBlue folks like to call it) in JFK. It was really nice. Beautiful terminal, great restaurants. Honestly one of the few airport experiences that actually feels at all different from every other big airport. Leave it to jetBlue to create a better experience on the ground as well as in the air.
I decided to loiter in the airport until the #aycj party got kicked off. Met a ton of fellow jetters that I had only known through their twitter tags, including (but not limited to): @redelvis, @mhjohnston, @royaldrama, @girlonferry, @McCallYouCanJet, @aaronpk, @JohnRDowdy (again… are you following me?), and @AllYouCanJetNow. It was a great time and really cool meeting all these different people on this crazy deal and seeing all the adventures they are getting into.
Had a great time and then off to meet up with my friend in NYC and then off to the New York Burlesque Festival to see my friend Sparkly Devil perform!
