Here we go again. Retired on Wednesday and off to New York and New England (in the fall).
Bright and early – the romance and adventure summed up by sunrise over Heathrow ….
Flight ok – we’re getting used to the tedium, and a fabulous view of NYC as we came in to land. Immigration up to its usual efficiency – through in just over two hours, although at least they are friendly when you do end up at the booth.
As we were here by early afternoon, the rest of the day was a bit of a jet-lagged daze. A beautiful afternoon so wandered into Central Park and began to take in the atmosphere.
Eileen has found a fantastic place to stay, as usual. West 95th – so right by Central Park on the Upper West Side. Street looks just like those from the movies – and their house has been used in Sex in the City and Home Alone 2.
Great views from Central Park and Fifth Avenue.
And stumbled on the Guggenheim – that’s for another day.
Managed to stay awake until about 8.30 pm – that’s 21 hours since the alarm went!
