By Mackenzie Carroll '19 on August 8, 2015

We left Hamilton at 5am for JFK airport where we got on our first flight heading for LAX. This was the six-hour flight, which was the shorter of the two flights.

We had a five-hour layover at LAX, so we used the time to explore the exciting airport, read, play cards, watch movies, and get ready for our next 13 hour flight!
