Day 1 - Sunday June 17 - Woodstock to JFK / London

It  was a beautiful morning with blue skies and cool temperatures.We were busy doing laundry, packing, mowing the lawn and watering the garden.

It is hard to just how much time to allow to get to JFK from Woodstock. In the morning, Google Maps said 2hr 15 minutes. After lunch it said 2hr 45 minutes. Traveling down I87, I84 and I684 to the Hutchinson River parkway was pretty fast. As we got close to the Whitestone bride, google said it would take 55 minutes to go 17 miles - very slow. We got to the off-site parking lot at 6pm, after 3 1/2 hours.

It is a relief to finally be checked in and bags delivered at the airport. We used most of our American Airlines frequent flyer miles collected over 10 years to fly business class over and back. The trip over is on British Airways to London Heathrow. Fortunately, British Airways has a nice comfortable lounge for business class passengers. Lots of snacks and beverages. It certainly beats sitting with the masses waiting at the gate. The flight leaves at 9:05pm and arrives in London at 9:10am tomorrow morning.
