It took me 6 hours more than it hould have to get here. Apparently an airport closed in Mumbai for three hours. Delta Airlines are probably the least helpful company it has been my misfortune to have dealings with. AirFrance are probably nearly as bad. If you're ever taking internal flights from JFK, I cannot recommend jetblue.com highly enough - they're cheap, courteous, flexible, efficient. I arrived at 5.20pm with a ticket for a plane that had taken off at 3.05pm. They put me righ on the next plane, no questions asked, no extra charge. I promise to rant about this further later, but I've got lunch waiting upstairs, and it will get seriously ranty.
Oherwise America remains as warm and friendly a place as I remember. The political climate is one I still find slightly scary, but I'm still delighted at how wonderfully open and welcoming everyone I meet here seems to be - you expect shop assistants to be superficially friendly, but they really seem to mean it. When they say 'have a nice day', you damn well go and have a nice day, like you're told to.
I'm having a nice day.

Glad to hear you are having a nice day. Thought you weren't going to surface for about another week. Enjoy your time there, Matt.
