The day of the flight:
I had to go to school during the day, so my aunt met me and my sister at our house and we were all on the flight so she drove us to the airport. We left around 315PM for the 5-10 minute drive for our 5:38PM flight to New York LaGuardia airport. We parked in the parking garage and then walked from the garage into the airport and then took the elevator down to the DL check in counter.
A nice day for flying
Pulling into the airport
Air Traffic Control at SYR
SYR
As I was about to pull into the parking garage I saw the daily B6 A320 to MCO departing ----flight 655 N584JB
DL Check in counter
There was no one on line, so we just went through the sky priority line and the agent checked us in and I forked over the 25 dollars to check my bag. We then asked if we could move our seats and the agent told us to at the gate. After leaving our bags there we went up to security and on line I ran into my 6th grade math teacher who was going to RSW via EWR. It was funny to see her. Security took about 10-15 minutes and we were through.

Looking out at a very busy ramp
They recently redid the airport with a centralized security location so I now can walk through both concourses and see all of the huge A330’s, 747’s and 757’s at SYR.

I then headed back over to the “B” side where my flight leaves from. This dash 8 was delayed to CLE earlier in the day, but it ended up going to EWR same flight my math teacher was on.

After plugging my phone in so I can get it charged up for my flight. A weeks before the flight I got my upgrade and I went to the 5S from the 4S and this phone’s camera is so much better so I was glad I was able to get it before the flight.

Once the door was closed we pushed back and started our engines and lowered the flaps and started a quick taxi to runway via 28 we taxied out onto sierra then right onto mike left onto alpha then where holding short of the runway and after waiting for a few minutes just as we started taking off it started to snow so once we were in a little chop on our left turn and on our way to LaGuardia.

About half way down
Starting our descent into LGA with a nice strobe light
On final for runway 22
Short final
At about 300 feet after a pretty choppy flight we hit a strong crosswind and got thrown way to the left, and after lining back up we were over the runway and the pilots pretty much just threw the plane on the ground it was one of the worst landings I have had in a while.

Touchdown
After exiting the runway we taxied for a few minutes and sat for about 15 minutes and I got to see some planes takeoff 31 one of which was an AirTran 717 that’s the only one I can remember.
Following a DL E-145 into the ramp
We then arrived at gate D5…. Same gate I arrived in this summer on flight 786 from ATL on N983DL
My Plane after arriving
After walking out of the plane I met my aunt and sister outside of the plane by the gate and we walked down to baggage claim to get our bags then head to our hotel.
Bags
After getting our bags within 5 minutes, we headed out as we were leaving someone asked us for our bag tag to match it to our bag. I have never seen that before. After waiting for 5 minutes for a cab we got in the cab and headed to the Marriot Marquis in Time Square
On the way to the city
Saw this sign
My sister’s favorite place that she wanted to go to M and M world
After about a 20 minute cab ride we got to the hotel.
The next day my grandma met us and she took us out and my sister wanted to go to Toys R Us so we did.
Where the ball drops on new years
In Toys R Us
We then went back to the hotel, it was an awesome hotel. We then met with my cousins and we went up to the restaurant at the top floor that spins so you see the whole city of Manhattan for my early birthday dinner, it was fun and good to see everyone.
