JFK is in my nightmares

So the man and I headed off to New York City this evening for a wee vacation. We joined a Cathay Pacific flight en route from Hong Kong to Vancouver with NYC being the final destination. For the duration of the entire 5 hour flight, we had a baby boy behind us and a baby girl in front of us screaming the entire flight: take off to landing and everything in between. One sounded as if it was being murdered and the other as if it were being boiled alive, it was truly awful and I felt bad for the parents, the babies themselves and all of us slumming it in cattle class. Once we landed at JFK we had to wait almost an hour for our luggage to arrive at the carousel. In the hour while we waited, we were hipchecked, kicked and stomped on by dozens of old Asian ladies running after their sacks full of heavy luggage, don't they have proper suitcases in China? Seriously, those sacks kept busting apart and that is what held the rest of us up.
