U.S.A Day 1

Well I'm finally here in Charlottsville, Virginia writing my first post from america on a Mac. I friggin' hate macs!!! They are so not Purple.

Well, we spent 2 hours at Ben-Gurion airport before we boarded. We were very rushed the whole time because we had stopped at McDonalds and didn't even get past passport control. So we finally got on the plane and they were supposed to show The Devil Wears Prada but they didn't, Those @%#$*&!%. After I finished watching the Fast and the Furious 3 I tried to fall asleep since it's a 12 hour flight from Israel to New York, but I'm just too tall, so I couldn't get comfortable, so I didn't get any sleep the whole trip. When we got to JFK Airport we had 2 and a half hours to connect to Delta and take a connection to Richmond, Virginia. As luck would have it we thought we had all the time in the world, once we finally got to the airtrains to take us to Terminl 2, we got on the wrong one and ended up at terminal 5, we then quickly got off and borded the other train and finally got to the right stop. We then followed the signs to terminal 2 and it turns out we have to walk in the rain to the Delta building. By this point I'm starting to dislike Delta. once we finally go to terminal 2 they wouldn't let us in because it turns out terminal 2 is for Arrivals. We quickly ran in the rain again to Terminal 3 and got to check-in. We didn't know what to do so we had 1 person wait at the Domestic Kiosk to get our E-Tickets, and another person to wait at the counter to hand in our tickets so we could go through security and then board our plane. only 2 of the Kiosks were working 1 had a really long line and then other had these three 90-year olds trying to figure out how to work the computer. After a while we got to a Kiosk and tried getting our E-Tickets but for some reason only my parents could get theirs, it wouldn't let me and my siblings get ours. By Now I really don't like Delta. then we finally work out the tickets and go to check-in and then my dad mentions that I'm carrying a Lighter to the check-in lady and she says that they won't let me past security with a lighter, so she tells me to put my $50 Zippo in the garbage, so I took the lighter out of it's fancy case and put that in the garbage, and keep the case. By now I despise Delta more than I despise Vegeterians
We finally board the 20-meter long plane and get ready for take-off half an hour later the captains voice comes on the loudspeaker announcing: "Ladies and Gentleman, we are currently in line with 65 other planes waiting for take-off" Well you can only guess how I feel now. Luckily we were fourth in line and after 1 hour of waiting we finally take off. 1 hour of flying later we are told that we're going to land soon, so I say to myself Finally!
Suddenly, we have heavy turbulence and it takes one hour before we land in raging storms Richmond. We meet up with my grandfather and he drives us to his house in beautiful and sunny Charlottsiville where I'm stuck writing on a friggin' mac!!!
My uncle is going to come soon bringing with him the only three Red Hot Chili Peppers albums I don't have.

I reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyy hate Delta!

Purple Cow Y'all!
