Airport WiFi
I’m sitting at the gate in Boston’s Logan International Airport, killing time and having a surf courtesy of the “loganwifi” network.
I’ve been trying for a year or so to actually manage to get onto an Airport network but previously I’ve been thwarted by poor signal or prohibitive cost, or both! It’s nice to find a sensibly priced network at last. Just $7.95 (or about £4.50) for up to 24 hours access. That seems ok to me since I’ve got a little over 3 hours to kill just now. Mark you, I’ll have to find a power outlet before that - my battery shows about an hour left.
It’s been an interesting 24 hours. I arrived back at my Girlfriend’s place about this time yesterday to catch the end of her old room-mate moving out. This has proved to be a slightly unpleasant situation since she only gave 7 days notice of her intention to move and then advertised the room on website called CraigsList which resulted in a bombardment of forwarded emails and exchanges of upset words! How can you seriously expect to find somebody to share your living space that you trust to be in your space in just a week? To cap it all, the ex-roommate also did a runner yesterday without paying up her bills. I’m sure her reward will be forthcoming at a later date - karma has a way of catching up with you!! It seems, therefore, that my plans were somehow supposed to be changed yesterday. I know my presence and support were better appreciated in person than they would have been over the phone and after the fact.
Of course, today didn’t go entirely smoothly either. Upon arriving at LaGuardia Airport (NY) today, I found that my flight to Boston was cancelled. Luckily, they are numerous and I was booked on to the next. When faced with the delay yesterday, the airline were, seemingly, most efficient in offering me alternative travel plans. That said, it turned out today that they had only booked me on the flight to Boston and not on my main flight - Boston to Manchester. It’s turned out to be ok, there was no problem with availability, but there was certainly a stressful moment or two at Check-In earlier on!! Here’s hoping that the flight I’m currently awaiting has no problems - as nice as it was to get an extra night in New York, it’d be good to get to my UK home for a few days! I’ll be sure to let you know….
