En Route SAV - JFK - KEF

My 9 day adventure to Iceland started today. I left savannah around 12pm and got to JFK in New York around 2. The flight to New York was smooth with no problems the only things was my flight to Iceland didn't leave until 10:30pm! Which left me with over an 8 hour layover. I was not about to hang around the airport that long so luckily Phil, a good friend of mine from Purdue lives in New York and was free. I took the air tran to the subway and the subway to 42nd street in Manhattan. Overall the trip to downtown took approximately an hour and a half. Phil was still working when I got down town so I walked down to Times Square. 

After that I met up with Phil and we went to a local bar for some drinks and to catch up. After the bar we walked some more around the downtown area to Central Park. It was a good time and hopefully tired me out enough to be able to sleep on the flight. Around 7 I made my way to the subway to head back to the airport. It should've been a simple trip however I missed the stop where I was supposed to transfer to another train! I quickly realized my mistake and got off the train at the next stop and sprinted back. Luckily I gave myself enough time and was able to make it the rest of the way to the airport without a problem. Security at JFK was super quick and I got to my gate ~ an hour and a half ahead of time. I ended up stopping at a sandwich stop in the airport and getting a turkey bacon pannini which tasted pretty good. I also stopped and picked up 'dream water'. Which, if you don't know what that is, it's supposed to be the opposite of a 5 hour energy. So hopefully it'll knock me out and help me sleep on the overnight flight to Iceland! 

I hope it helps! Jake and John speak highly of it haha. Hopefully I'll be able to get another post in tomorrow night. 

Happy travels!
