So, thunder storms in NYC caused ALL flights going into JFK to be severely delayed. You guessed it, both Lisa (out of LAX) and I (SFO) missed our flight to Dubai. I don't want to recount the details but it was messy and involved multiple delays, circling, fuel stops etc.
To make it all worse, when we got there, there were no more hotel rooms available and we had about 10 hours until our flight left. So we all hop in a cab and head into the city for some eating and sightseeing - at 3 am in the morning local time.
We had a memorable meal at a little diner called Green Kitchen and even witnessed a chick fight with blood and glass throwing (they are serious about their fighting in NYC).
And then we drove around town and actually managed to cross town and see lots of sights sans traffic. We realized it was a full moon which might account for some of the craziness.
So now we are waiting at the check in counter for Emirates to get on the flight to Dubai. But wait, the drama is not over. The flight from Dubai to Addis is booked and we're on a wait list. And we have NO idea where our luggage is.
The saga continues.

Holy crap! You are going to have one hell of a story for miss Fiori when she is older. Hope you get there. Hope your luggage gets there too.
Good u got stuck in a not boring place... 3 am..not a car in sight, u can hear pin drop, then open a door to some little bar w/ no sign..and IT IS PACKED!
Glad you took advantage of a bad situation. SOrry about the crap guys! More challenges to getting Fiori and Zaela..tell Lisa I am thinking of her !! Take your babies and RUN!
Nothing is ever boring for you is it??:) Hoping your luggage (and you for that matter) end up somewhere near Addis. Just keep remembering how worth it that sweetie is!!!
OMG what drama still...that is a crazy fight on film!!
Glad you are making the most of it and thank God ya'll are together thru this ordeal.
Hope the luggage is found and you get to Addis soon.

That is so funny with the chick-fight....are your sure that wasn't Lisa back there fighting? You need to keep an eye on that girl...
OMG! At first I thought that was you and Lisa going after the flight attendant... or is that a different video? Good luck getting there. Talk about going through hell and high water... those are two very lucky babies!
