Waiting to Board

We've had some quality time at JFK airport this afternoon, we got in extra early just to be safe. Adventures so far: our counter didn't open for two hours after we arrived, forcing us to make a nest out of our bags, sit on the floor, and wait. But we also spotted the actual NASA space shuttle on the way into the airport. That was cool! Now, we are about to board the first leg of our flight, an 8 hour flight to Brussels. We layover there for 4 hours, and then head out to Delhi. It seems like we've been in a liminal state forever at this point, but we're really only a third of the way on our journey.
