Flight over to Dublin

The night before I left for Dublin I decided to get sick again. This time not due to being drunk or hung-over, even though I did drink two margaritas with Jeong Nam and Alan at Over the Border. I didn't get drunk, but I did get violently ill after packing my stuff. I guess I just get too excited before big flights/trips. Ever since I was a little kid I've always been sick (as in throwing up) at airports, before airports or sometimes even on the plane. So when Mom woke me up to leave at 5:15am I was not feeling well at all. Got to the airport and checked my bags in and got in the security line. As I was almost to the front of the line, I had to book it to the bathroom again. Finally got through security and had to hit the bathroom again before boarding the plane. Ugh. I HATE throwing up. Got to JFK at 8:40am and had to get my bags and go back out to check back in again. Of course I was still very ill and couldn't do self service check in at the kiosk cause it was too early. My flight out of JFK wasn't until 7:10pm. So I got in line. Big mistake. The line went nowhere. There were about 3 ladies working the check-in counter and all helping people, but I guess the people they were helping had major issues cause the line was not moving. I was still so ill and couldn't handle carrying my bags for 5 inches and then standing and waiting for another 20. So after about 30 mins, I got out of line and walked over to the side and laid down and passed out for an hour. When I woke up it was about 10:30 and the line was small, even though still so very slow. But this time I was feeling much better and made it to the front and got myself checked in. After getting through security it was about 11am and I had 8 hours til my next flight. I found my gate and passed out again. Finally it was around the time when we were supposed to board when they announced that the co-pilot was not here yet and wouldn't get here until 7:30. So around 7:30 we started boarding. Then once on the plane they proceed to tell us that there is a thunder storm outside (I couldn't see cause I am sitting in the middle row) and that no planes were taking off or landing and that we would have to wait 20 mins for the storm to pass. After about another hour or so we finally get going. The good news is that they pad the flight time by an hour due to the ground traffic of planes lining up to leave and that we bypassed that and got out right away. So I'm hoping that we wont be too late when landing. It was funny cause when we started to take off everyone on the plane started applauding. Hehe. The take-off was pretty rough with turbulence. I actually think it may have been some of the worst I've flown through. As one small child sitting near me said, "It feels just like a roller coaster ride." The flight is filled with little children everywhere. For the most part they are well behaved and quite cute… but still quite loud and sometimes annoying. The food was blah and the movie pretty good. It was Breach starring Ryan Philippe which is always fine by me. I really hope we get to Ireland soon, cause I don't know how much more of this flying stuff I can do. I really just need to get some sleep and a shower. Also there is absolutely no leg room on this plane! I am so squished.
