NYC!!

Pretty quick flight but yet tiring: Turks and Caicos-Charlotte, Charlotte-NYC.

My arrival at the airport was scheduled at 9.45 pm in NYC. Well, we arrived earlier, at about 9.00pm!!! Usually flights are late. So no complain.

Once I get off the plane, I had this first instant of “panic”. Yeah, I wouldn’t call it panic, I was still zen and… anyway too sleepy to be panic. But well, yes, Aaron wasn’t at the airport arrival. I wait for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes… an Aaron wss still not there. I should maybe call him. So a nice gentleman lent me his phone, and when I rang Aaron’s phone, I could here his voice: “Sorry Emilie, my car broke down on the driveway. I had to take a cab, I am on the way”. I was relieved.

On the way back to Aaron’s place in New Jersey (about one hour from NYC), we couldn’t stop talking about our travel experience, adventures… brief everything that happened to both of us during these 2 years where we haven’t met each other. This runs until 4 am… I was happy.

To be honest I was quite jetlag the next day. So we decided not to do much and just enjoyed this Sunday at home, sharing stories, talking hours and hours again.

By the time we stopped talking, it was already dark outside… This day, I found out how excellent cook is Aaron’s mum. She made some awesome vegan food. From veggie burgers, to vegan ice cream, to a home-made granola… Wahou!!

After dinner, we head back to NYC meet up with Crawfors, Aaron’s friend.  He kindly offered me to stay on his futon for the week I’ll spend in NY. He lives in Brooklyn, south of the city.

This night, we hang out all night, went to different bars, all underground and yet quite fun.  We ended up the night at 5 o’clock in the morning…That was really fun. I enjoyed this night.

Then, I won’t tell you in details all I have done during this week in NY. That would be exhausting to write everything, I am certain you don’t wane know everything. All I can tell you is that I had an absolutely wonderful time. Aaron is a very kind person, and every night, he took me out and we went to lots of different places, experienced a variety of atmosphere.
