Day one Thursday
Arrived at JFK at around 16:30, had to
wait on the plane for an hour as we were informed the terminal had
been evacuated due to a security scare, found out later somebody had
packed a fake hand grenade paperweight!
We then got the Airtrain and the Long
Island Rail-road train into Penn Station $11.25 off peak and took around 45 minutes. We will never forget coming out of Penn
Station and seeing all the lights and people and skyscrapers,
hearing the car horns and noise and smelling the street carts
cooking Hot Dogs and Gyros.
We walked up the couple of blocks to
our Hotel and checked in, the room was great, big, we were on floor
12 which was the top as it was a small building to NYC standards! We
had a view of the Empire State Building out of the window!
Our original plan was to try and go up
the ESB that night but due to the delays on arrival it was a lot
later than we had expected, we could not just go to bed though, not
without a little walk around, we went out and got a dirty water Hot
Dog and walked a little way up Broadway from the hotel at W35th Street to Times Square and
across and back down 6th Avenue, got some drinks and sweets from a
Duane Reade and then back to the hotel to try and get some sleep, it
was all a bit of a blur that first night.
