Day 1: The trip to New York

The view from my window on the plane before we head out.

After we get to New York, we stand in line to get a taxi (the mini-van type, due to the large number of bags that were brought).

.

We got to the hotel and were shortly greeted by some firetrucks (there were about 5 total). And as you may be able to tell from the picture, it is raining. There was some problem that shut down the elevators in the second building my parent were. The bags had to be toted up 4 flights of stares.

Had diner with my brother, visited with him and called it a night.

Time flies when you set you watch 3 hrs ahead.
