So I arrived at JFK airport last night. Let me say that despite the cramped seating I love Jet Blue. I like the little Direct TV screen that each passenger gets and I love the fact that you bring your own food on the plane. Every airline, in the United States, has the most horrible food. I would much rather bring my own food on the plane. From what I understand the only airlines that have good food are the ones in Asia. Singapore Airlines is supposed to be the best, and they are supposed to have the hottest flight attendants.
Anyway, there was already a little drama here in NYC. Upon checking in they wanted a card to hold the room. That is no big deal, it's the same everywhere. The difference was that this place, the Hilton here in the hoity toity uptown area, wanted to place a hold on my account FOR THE FULL PRICE OF MY STAY. This place is like $500 a night! Every other hotel runs a quick pre-auth for MAYBE one nights stay at most, just to hold the room. Then when you check out you pay them however you want. I guess this place has a different policy.
Anyway, there is no way that I have upwards of $1500 for them to hold on to while I am here. My only credit card has a limit of $600, and since I don't use it I don't plan on asking for an increase. I had to make a quick call back to the office and they had to set the hotel straight. They are the one's who are paying for the room and they had already made the arrangements for payment so these New Yawkers are buggin'. I think I'm going to go piss on Yankee stadium just to show them who's boss.
Anyway, I gotta work today and tomorrow so even though I'm here in New York I won't be able to do too many touristy things. I am going out this evening though. I am going to head down to the village for the halloween party. Too bad I don't have a costume.
