Turf

Today a taxi took me to Edinburgh airport, where I flew uneventfully to JFK Terminal 4. I had an almost five-hour layover before my next flight. An hour was spent getting through immigration. Before I went to my gate, I took a shuttle bus to Terminal 1 with the aim of adding New York State to my list of regions where I've taken a Turf zone. However, the zone was situated in the light rail station that is closed for renovation! The other JFK zone is at Terminal 8 and, on the way the shuttle bus passed through the Terminal 1 zone, allowing me to take it after all - using the technique of blocking the GPS once in the zone so my phone thought it was still there. [You have to stay in a zone for almost 30 seconds to take it.] The zone at Terminal 8 was not entirely straightforward, as large buildings affect the GPS. I still hadn't got it when I reached limit of the public area of the airport. I didn't fancy being stopped, but as I moved   away, the GPS shift worked in my favour and I took the zone! I then took the light rail back to Terminal 4 and went to the gate for my next flight, and still had two hours to wait!

Tomorrow should be even more exciting!
