We got up early on the 21st and got a taxi to the airport in Las Vegas (10mins from Hotel) and got on our American Airlines flight and decided not to eat at the airport as would get fed on plane - you would think - wrong!!! They must be like Virgin back home as only drinks provided and you could buy snacks. We were so tired so didnt really matter. Got to New York JFK - 18 Terminal airport - MASSIVE!! and we had our transfer from there and they picked up people from different terminals and we were like sardines - great way to meet fellow travelers - NOT!! Finally got to our hotel and well lets say not the Hilton - say no more - only 3 nights here so suck it up. Just went and grabbed a meal which was great - round the corner and so yummy and then hit the sack in our double beds that fit dwarfs - I am ok but Tim touches the walls on both sides (not really - but feet hanging over). Then this morning up and ready to hit the streets. Had at the same place and then went and caught the subway which is just up the street from our hotel and we caught it to downtown to the end where the ferries go from. From there we caught a free ferry over to Staten Island which went passed the Statue of Liberty and as you can see in the picture it is overcast and cold. We then came back and went to Times Square and had a walk around and then had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. After lunch hit the streets again and then the kids went to a movie -Hannah Montana - and we went shopping and a for a drink and some time out from each other which we needed. We then came back to the hotel and have bought a Hop on Hop off bus ticket for tomorrow to see all the sights and might go see a show tomorrow night. 8.5million people and we passed 5million of them today - it was crazy but educational.
