Travel Day - All the way to NYC
Transition through BNE was quick and painless especially
with all the new technology passport scanners.
Once on the plane it was an easy 13 hr flight across the
Pacific to LA. Most boys enjoyed the food, a few movies and also got a bit of
sleep but you could tell when the wheels popped down in LA that the excitement
had lifted and they were pleased the long haul flight was over. Although one
boy 'detained' in security for a little while (due to problems with his finger prints???) the rest of the LAX stop was fine and incident free. :).
After a quick bite to eat at the domestic terminal before
boarding. As we gathered to depart at
the gate, an announcement come over the PA that New York's JFK airport that some passengers were running late to the connecting flight so this delayed us on momentarily, before we too off.
Another 5 hr flight between LA and NYC saw us arrive in the
big apple just ahead of a cloudy sunset around 7pm. JFK airport was buzzing
with travelers and our boys looked a little overwhelmed but excited as we
jumped onto our bus and headed into our city accommodation at the Fairfield Marriott.
Basically all went to bed straight after a quick tour of the Midtown area and another bite to eat. All ready for our big day tomorrow.
Bring on Lower Manhattan.
PS a limited photo day. I have added a couple for all to
see.
Glad to hear the trip is off to a good start. Thanks for the update. Regards, Mark Freeman
