This will be my last post about the recent trip to the US. In case you missed my previous Philadelphia posts/pics:

My flight back to Spain left from JFK – so I took the Megabus from Philly to NYC (which incredible) and thought I just could have my suitcase locked at Penn Station or one of the nearby hotels.

NOPE!

I was running around like a maniac to get rid of my suitcase – to get some great lunch, do some pictures taking, shopping (Spain just doesn’t have my sizes) etc.

After 1 1/2 hours I gave up – it’s just ridiculous  and very very travel unfriendly! I was shocked. I get the whole post 911 thing. But … I can check-in my suitcase and fly with it. Why not scan my suitcase before you lock it? And just asking for a luggage room makes you feel like a terrorist. HATED IT!

So I went my suitcase Madangsui for some awesome Korean BBQ ( I’m so hooked now after Kimchi Princess in Berlin) see pictures below –then sat around Herald Sq. for some people watching and then head to JFK to sit around the airport for 8 hours. HAHAHA – that was so much fun and pretty much I expected to spend my 7 hours in the city.

Talking of not very traveler friendly – It’s just weird there is no direct public train direction from Manhattan to JFK!!!

Here my impressions:

During the bus sequence ( going through the Lincoln tunnel) you can hear this woman talk – she was unbelievable, she talked during the whole bus ride without taking one breath.
