New York - New York!!

WOW  Talk about life in the fast lane!  We landed and eventually our luggage arrived then we took off in a taxi along roads that we had heard of thanks to Seinfeld.  Traffic, People, amazing.  We got to our Apartment which is smack bang in the middle of Times Square.  We unpacked - yes - unpacked.  Clothes in drawers and hanging in a wardrobe - bliss.  Unpacked our tea and coffee and sugar because we have a microwave (no kettle) but at least now we can boil our own water for a decent cuppa (the simple things of life)  Anyway, then we hit Times Square and walked about like a couple of dumbfounded tourists.  Eyes everywhere, look at that look at this!  They have a huge screen that films the crowd and you can wave at yourself, so we did.  We took photos.  They have characters walking through that you can have photos with, so we did.  We were hungry so gritted our teeth and tried to find something to eat.  we came across this place where you fill a container and pay by the pound!  They had vegetables!!!!  We had a pretty decent meal for less than $10 for both of us.   Jean has arrived at JFK so she should be here within the next hour so that will be fun.  Her Hotel is two minutes from us so thats good.  We have four days planned with Jean and Heather.  We haven't seen the Statue of Liberty yet but plenty of time.  We will be here for at least 5 days.  Love to you all xxx
