The Going Away Party, The Crowd at Party, One of the Long Lines.
These are the pictures that I did not get on yesterday.
We arrived in New York this morning. We awoke just after passing under Verrazano’s bridge. The Lady in the harbor looked beautiful all lit up. It was about 5:00 AM when she came into sight. The sun did not come up until around 7:15 AM. We had our last breakfast on the balcony for this cruise this morning. After breakfast we packed up what was left, and asked ourselves, why did we bring so much. Because of the suite we were able to go to one of the nice lounges to wait for our turn off the boat. They had juice, coffee and sweet rolls for us. Getting off the ship went very well, there is always something that comes up, but all in all it was good. We were through customs and on the street minutes after they called our group.
The limo showed up about 30 minutes after we left the ship and we started the “journey from hell”. He told us that he was from the Dominican Republic and had been driving the limo for 6 months and that he really like New York City. We weaved, we started, we stopped, we tried to see how fast we could go in about 100 feet and then check and see if the brakes or horn were going to work. Then we tried to kill Donald by turning left in front of oncoming speeding traffic, and finally he tried to make a U-turn in front of our hotel on 57th street. Thank God he gave up on that and went around the block.
We had to use the Brooklyn tunnel because of the traffic jams caused by our great leader being in New York, along with all the other great leaders.
The hotel is typical New York hotel. We drove past the Twin Tower’s site, the fashion institute, Madison Square Garden and Penn station, which we will be leaving from tomorrow.
After getting settled we walked up to Central Park and to the Tavern on the Green. Judi bought me lunch, the bill was over $60.00, what the heck it was an adventure. We sat on a park bench for awhile and watched people, dogs, horses and bicycles parade by.
For people who like to watch other people, this is the place to be. It also helps if you do not mind if anyone speaks English or not.
We both have been to New York many times and we are tired from this long adventure, so we passed on doing much in this fine city.

What a wonderful way to enjoy your trip with you. I was supposed to tell you Ron has been following along and forgot.
