Wedding in Princeton

I'm currently waiting for a shuttle transfer from JFK to LGA for my flight to Portland and thought I'd blog about what happened recently. Yesterday morning I arrived at JFK for a friend's wedding in Princeton. Before going any further, can I just reinstate my annoyance of plane rides!? I think the thing I hate the most is how crammed it is! Why can't they make more leg space (for economic purposes of course) and I don't like sitting for so long. Why do people sit down the way they do? I mean sit on your butt with knees bent. The Japanese had no such thing as chairs, they kneel and sit on the floor - which makes me wonder how they'd drive a car? They would probably incorporate the accelerator and brake with the hand gears, hm that would be interesting. Anyway, last time I was in NY was for Princeton university visit, gosh that feels like eons ago - but I guess 2 years is a long time. I have to say that I'm glad to have chosen Caltech instead of Princeton. For one thing, Princeton is very small and there are so little people there. I'd like to retire on a farm though, but not that kind of life just yet! Okay, let me get back to the topic...it was a traditional Indian wedding which involved a lot of chants and was very rich in terms of decoration and attire. I felt so happy for the couple to have found a partner in each other to walk through this life with. And I'm just glad to have made it and be there to witness this beginning! After spending the night there, this morning I set off for my flight to Portland. On the shuttle from Princeton to EWR, there was a father and son who sat in front of me. You can tell that the father loves his little boy with his adoring and proud smile, and the boy would lean his head on his dad's shoulder to try to sleep. It was such a sweet sight. I'm now waiting for transfer flight from Charlotte to Portland...okay, I shall take a stroll around the airport before planting myself on the plane sit again - a 5 hour flight damn!
Edit: It's now nearly 12am, and I realized that I have spent the whole day traveling! Princeton to EWR to JFK to LGA to Charlotte airport to Portland airport and now in my hotel. Total travel time 14hours. Needless to point out the inefficiency of it all.
