Some More Pic's from our Trip to New York City

Subway Train, Headed down to Ground Zero. Susan did great for getting us around the city using the subway. I was very thankful. Not that there were alot of FREAKs but there were a few. I had to remind myself that they are all God's Children and go from there. For the most part that worked.

Grand Central Terminal. Yes that is the name. Grand Central Station is under this and is where all the subway trains actually come in, and yes New Yorkers will correct you on this. More Pics and video's are coming, I have to down load them and save them over.

Home

We made it home. Now here is a question for you. Am not sure if I should be glad or upset. I will take poll from you all to see which it will be. Originally our flight was to take off from Newark Liberty International Airport New Jersey just across the River from Manhattan NY at 7:30am arrive Charleston just about 10:00am. The shuttle service told us that we needed to leave our Hotel around 4:15am for this flight (with me so far). Okay Susan and I get to the Airport just after 5:00am and check in and get our boarding passes. So we have time to kill before our flight had alittle breakfast and then went to our gate to read our books and wait for the flight. At 7:20am they tell us it will be alittle late new take off time 7:45am not bad I think. We board the flight about 7:30am again not bad. Then we back away from the gate about 7:50am alittle later than they said but again I say not bad. Then we waited and waited and waited some more. 8:25am we finally take off almost an hour from the originally take off time. Now get this, we still arrived at the time we was suppose to 10:00am. Now here is the question. Should I be happy that we arrived on time or Should up I be just alittle upset that they had me awake at 3:45am to catch a 4:15 shuttle for a flight that didn't take off until 8:25? There ya go. A side note. We did make it home in time to have lunch at Mai Tai. All things considered a very good day. Oh did I mention that our AC unit has crapped out and it is very warm in this house.
