Jetting in on the snow


When the journey becomes the story, then there is no doubt other issues may be left unattended and unexplained. This is what happened to me when I landed at the JFK airport in New York on Friday morning.
While I set out from the Banjul International Airport, little did I know that I or rather the Gambian delegation, I was traveling with are going to face stiff resistance from our first friends in the United States - the snow. I call it friend because everywhere we go, the snow is there.
On rooftops, on top of cars and above all covering residential areas thus creating mountain of problems for cleaners.
At some point, workers at the JFK did all what they could but the snow was just sturborn and refused to go away. It would be interesting to see how events will shape up here in the coming weeks and days.
