day one - the big trip

the day begun with only 2h30 sleep.

Miguelinho was super kind to takes to the airport in Lisbon and Pedrinho joined us for company.

it was an extremely busy morning in the airport. I had never spent so much time in controls (luggage and passport).

the first flight was Lisbon to Dublin. no problem there

then, lunch at dublin airport, where they don't sell chewing gum. go figure.

the transatlantic flight was 7 hours. the flight entertainment system offered several movies and tv series. none of the movie appealed to e, so I watched the simpsons, family guy, scrubs and mad men.

upon arrival in the US, again long lines in the passport checks. surprisingly, they were fast and not annoying in the procedure.

then, a 30 dollars taxi ride to queens and, voilá, cazzamia.

and that was the end of day 1
