Please note: there will be no photos until travel recovery is complete.
After a nine hour flight that left at 1pm, we arrived in NYC at 4:30 pm or 10:30 pm Italian time. The lines at JFK were even worse than in Rome. There were two white men processing US citizens through customs and one additional white man helping people with disabilities or those that could not stand in a one hour line watching a welcome to the USA video over and over. There were several black women trying to help people in line, dealing with all the complaints and shaking their heads a lot. We were there so long our luggage had been taken off the carousel and stacked hodge podge in a corner. Mercifully the line to look at our declaration form was short, but because of our propensity to visit farms and stand in pastures, we spoke to another woman who thanked us for our honestly. The subway was waiting to meet us, we got a seat and were at Susan’s house by 7pm. The wonderful Susan made us chicken soup. we had been traveling 18 hours by then.
