Newark to London

Hey all:
I'm writing a little piece on the plane (which I of course did not upload until later). I was nervous on the ride here. We were running late because I didn't think to print my ticket off until 10 minutes before we had to leave. Mom and I had to stop at Drug Fair to pick up a prescription mom had left at the counter earlier in the day, making us even later. Finally, we arrived at Newark and had to face the blistering cold weather in order to get to the terminal. By some dumb luck, we ended up parking right in from of the British Airways Terminal and were able to check in quickly and get all our questions answered.
Then, Mom and I had dinner together at Chili's because I could not enter the gate yet. I had a huge ceasar salad and a never ending Presidente Margarita. It was yummy, and I'm still feeling the effects of it at this moment. After dinner Mom accompanied me to security where I bravely walked through the "Ticketed Passengers Only" ropes and headed off on my own. Everyone was pleasant and made me feel a little less apprehensive. So I would just like to thank British Airways for their great staff!!
I tried to call the credit card companies while I was waiting, but at 8:20ish I was surprised to hear last call for GATE 67. I decided it would be a good time to board, as I did not want to be stuck in Newark.
I am now sitting in 32H, watching Across the Universe. It's about 9:42 and we've been in the air a little less than an hour. The girl next to me, or rather in the window seat is my age and embarking on a journey to Spain to work for her aunt's non-profit company. It is nice having someone to talk to and makes me feel a little bit better about travelling alone.
Meals are about to come out. The food smells good, though I have no clue what it is. The drink cart came down the aisle. They offered free wine, so of course I took them up on it. My seat partner and I realized we were the only ones who received 2 bottles. I guess we'll have to take it for what it is!
Anyway, I'd like to watch my movie and make room for my food....I will write more in a bit.
