After a very snowy hour on the tarmac, the kind folks at the John F. Kennedy International Airport de-iced our (I suppose then-iced over) Boeing 747, and we were cleared for immediate takeoff---just ahead of what was apparently quite a little bit of snow, or, as the Israeli steward on board announced it, "ay beeg eh snowstorrm."
Quite the pleasant flight overall. I mean, it's hard to complain after having an aisle seat next to what appeared to be the only empty seat on the airplane. Needless to say (but not to write), my restless legs were pleased.
I'm now in Bet Shemesh with the Israeli segment of the Buechler family, as well as the one traveling New Jersey representative, who already wants me to go wedding crashing tonight.
By the way, in case you were wondering, there's a Brookstone at JFK's third terminal. And you can buy remote control helicopters there. Just saying.
Enjoy day 1 in Beit Shemesh. And tell all cousins I say hello!
