Ever since our last visit to New York, Sharon has been itching to get back. Last time, the airlines lost all of our checked luggage - two suitcases, never to be seen again and it was -5C with a wind chill of -16C - man that was cold. This time, the weather hasn't been quite so severe - still not warm and blue skys, but not too bad. It's a shame that the cloud cover is so low though - we cant see the top of Empire State or Freedom Tower (the highest building in New York as of two days ago!)
There's been quite a few changes as a result of 9/11 since we were last here too - armed zodiacs patrolling both the East and Hudson rivers and the harbour. Airport style security to get the ferry to Liberty & Ellis Islands.
The kids did the obligatory poses with characters; Stature of Liberty, Elmo etc.
Of course we saw Time Square (we are staying there!), Wall St, United Nations etc:
When in New York... eat a hot dog from a street vendor!
More to come including FAO Schwartz - the largest toy shop in the world (allegedly).
