This was the week! At last off Kyle and I went to begin our adventure. Monday morning Kyle’s dad generously took us to JFK Airport. It’s funny. Growing up, my Granny & Grandpa lived to close to it and literally every few minutes a plane would zoom by. Granny would always mention it and something along the lines of how great the airport was and so on. I envisioned it to be this huge overwhelming place that I obviously would immediately get lost at. But you know what, our trip to LA was extremely smooth.
Anyway, once Kyle & I got dropped off at JFK & checked-in, realized that we were STARVING. The first place we saw was a Panda Express (or something like that). Sure we thought, “Chinese sounds great at 11am.”
Kyle and I stepped into line and took a look at what they had to offer. Mmmmm basically all the favorites.
Looking up at the sign Kyle said, “let’s just get the Panda feast and split it. It’s a great price – $13 for two sides and three entrees. You can’t beat that!”
Sounds like a great deal right?
As we got closer to the cash register, turned out without wearing glasses, Kyle can’t see. It was actually $33 for HUGE portions. So there we were, with a mountain of food to feed a large family and $33 shorter than when we walked in.
In the end, we were happy for the meal. Airplanes rarely feed you during flights anymore and I assume we would have been miserably hungry as soon as the plane took off. I just thought it was funny that after consciously making the effort to save money, the first chance we had, got confused & spent way more than we planned on airport food of all things.
