Day 1: NYC
April 4th, 2008 at 10:35 pm (traveling)
After a long flight and several delays, we’re on the East Coast. We flew into Newark, NJ, then some relatives picked us up and drove us to Manhattan, where we’re staying the night in their apartment.
Before we settled down, we took z brief driving tour of Midtown. We also walked around Times Square for about 10 minutes. It felt just like being in a movie! But one thing was different from what I expected… I thought we would be trampled by busy people as soon as we stepped out of the car. As it turned out, everyone was acting even more like tourists than we were! People looking up in awe, cameras flashing, standing under the “No Standing” sign… we fit right in!
Tomorrow morning we’re going to (try to) get up early so we can tour some more of the city, before we board the ship at 2pm. Until then, over and out!
Times Square
The Empire State Building
Exactly what I’m thinking!
