Day 19 - Wednesday 5th May - DC/NYC


Today was another nice and early travel day.

We were up at 550am, and at the Foggy Bottom Metro station by 650am. We took the Metro to Union Station and checked in for our train to New York City. The New York City bound train was delayed about 45min, so it was after 9am by the time we boarded.

So, off we headed to New York City. When we arrived at Penn Station at about 12.15pm, we headed to the Subway platforms, got tickets for the week and got on a train going to Times Square.

When we got to Times Square, we found our hotel, The Casablanca Hotel, and checked in (fulfilling Bubbles hope that at some place our room would be ready when we arrived). At this hotel, we are Mr & Mrs S, rather than Mr & Mrs T, which is funny when they call Bubbles Mr S!

Shortly after arriving, Brandon & Lisa joined us for a catch up. We all headed down to Little Italy for some late lunch. We had lunch at a nice Italian place with a courtyard out the back where we ate. Afterwards we headed back to the hotel as Brandon and Lisa were heading to Bali later tonight and had to go pack. It was wonderful to see them, and we wish we had had more time to catch up with them.

After a rest, we went out to Times Square to find something to eat, then had an early night as we were going to Liberty and Ellis island tomorrow morning.
