NEW YORK - Elima

NEW YORK - DAY 3
Another late start with some Banana Pancakes and Bacon to fill our opu. Guess where we're heading? You'll see : ) Look at the pictures good!

Boarded the Stanton Island Ferry - Bye bye Manhattan

Look who's behind me as I squint to take this picture in the sun.

The STATUE OF LIBERTY finally! She sure is a sight to see! Once we got off the ferry, back on the subway we go. Thinking Soho would be a good lunch choice, we walked far and long until we could walk no more. Canal Chinese Restaurant was the first decent place we found. I ate DUCK for the first time and loved it!


Shopping would have been some fun so we headed to Bloomingdales, but got pushed out because they closed the store early on Sunday. So we went back home washed up and went to MELT Gelato for dinner...yep dinner! Mom and I had crepes and Gelato for supper, it was Delicious!

Central Park was on the way back to the hotel so we visited it for a brief moment before heading back to get more rest. This was our last night in NYC - tomorrow back to Boston.

NEW YORK CITY - Eha

Day 2 - NYC
Back on the Subway we go!

The luxurious Maybach House Car dropped us off at Rockefella Center, can you see the Hawaiian flag?

The very pretty castle church was right across the street - translation "St. Patrick's" Church.

It's now 1:00pm, 94 degrees and humid again...Brooklyn Bridge here we come. We didn't even reach the bridge yet and we wanted to turn around, the heat was mind boggling! Eventually we got half way and felt the breeze..yipee!


As soon as we got to the Brooklyn side of the bridge we searched for the famous Ice Cream shop to cool us down. Yummy and melting.

Once the ice cream was gone we hoped on the New York water taxi to Pier 17. It was a 3 minute ride nothing like the Expeditions Ferry's 45 minute trip.

We headed back home base got some shut eye and woke up hungry. Aunty Lisa and I had the Pasta of the Day - Seafood Primavera and mom had the Chicken with Mashed Potatos and Green Beans.

The house car took us straight to Broadway to watch MAMA MIA at Winter Garden...loved it! Thanks Aunty Lisa for my early birthday present.

Back to the hotel and ready for more beauty rest...what are we doing tomorrow?

BOSTON NYC - Ekolu

Farewell Boston, off to the Big Apple we go. South Station Amtrak Station was full of restaurants to choose from, seating areas and cool A/C.

Train seating - Spacious and Chilly!

We're in New York, not sure exactly where but at least we're there after the 4.5 hour trip.

What a way to welcome us to New York City...stepping out to the Subway with horrendous heat and a bunch of stairs to carry all of our luggage up to catch a taxi. It's too hard to smile. Ugh!


Arriving to Four Seasons New York and entering our room for the next 3 days made us smile again. Time to eat at GINGER's thank you Tim for the perfect 1st dinner in NYC.
