    Default Been in America one day and already stress!

    Argghhhh!!!!

    Ok so first of all i arrrive at the Airport in London and they tell me my flight has been cancelled.... GREAT! Anyway EVENTUALLY they put me on a flight to JFK ( i was supposed to fly out to Newark ). I arrive at JFK at 11.00pm but i'm held in immigration for 2 1/2 friggin hrs because i can't remember the house number of the place i'm staying at ( i had the rest of the address just not the door no# ). I end up getting out of the airport at 1.30am after a really nice guy who works for immigration calls my BF from his cell to get the door number. I arrive at my family's house at around 3.00am because, i was supposed to arrive at newark at 4pm originally, so a whole day was wasted.

    Anyhoo yesterday a whole gorup of us go out to a club in NJ... I had all my spending money in my bag because like a dick i forget to leave the rest of my cash at home. So i get in to the club and guess what? MY BAG IS MISSING!!!! i didn't have 50 dollars or a hunderd in even in there i had HUNDREDS!!!! and now all i have is 10 dollars to my name! ... i'm so pissed!

    Sorry just had to vent!

    Sheesh!

    I had a few hundred ripped off in Houston, once, because my Luggage got stolen. That was a grade-a hassle. I ended up stuck in Houston with basically the shirt on my back.

    Sorry Seraya dear for your loss. I hope the rest of it goes better.
    Look at the bright side, at least you did not end up in Newark.

    PS Been there hundreds of times. I served 5 years time as a citizen of NJ.

    Oh Hunny, I'm so sorry about that! That's horrible. What a welcome to America, huh?

    I hope your trip gets better. That would totally ruin it for me.

    Seraya sorry about the poor welcome. I wish you would have flown into Ohio instead.

    Sorry that you had such bad luck Seraya. If it's any consolation, JFK customs is extra paranoid - because after all NYC was the victim of the 9/11 attacks and is considered the juiciest target for future attacks.

    Don't get too nervous yet about your bag. Odds are that it was tagged to go to Newark when you checked in at Heathrow, and that's probably where it wound up even though you yourself wound up in New York. It may still turn up.

    Mel, I think she means she had all her cash in her purse which she took to the club, because she forgot to leave most of her money at the house before going out.

    Oh Seraya I'm really sorry that is your first experience with the US! It sucks when this crap happens - an expensive lesson for sure! I have just had a lesson myself (whole other situation) which is going to wind up costing me 2k or more. Bleh!

    Sorry babe, that's dreadful. I hope you can account for your loss. That sucks majorly.

    But the good thing is that you arrived in the US safe and sound. At least now you have your BF to take good care of you. Have lots of fun and enjoy your time in the west! x

    Well... try and concentrate on the positives so far:

    You arrived in the USA without the plane crashing
    You arrived in the USA in good health
    You have a boyfriend to help you through this loss
    Money can be replaced in the end - we all loose money of various amounts through no fault of our own however it is always able to be replaced

    and so on...



    Sometimes doing a list of the positives in your life when something like this happens... helps you to move on and put this incident in perspective (you didn't loose a limb.. just money).
