New York

We made it to NY yesterday afternoon and so did our luggage:) I am always a happy traveler when my luggage arrives with me. We arrived about 4:00 here in our hotel and decided to just stay here at the hotel instead of trying to go into the city. We are beginning to relax because the first thing that we did after checking in was to take a nice long nap. We are staying at the Ramada at the airport and it is a pretty tired old hotel but that is fine with us. The rooms are clean and we are close to the airport. We had an OK dinner here at the bar and were to bed early even after the afternoon nap. I checked in with Jessica and Leo just to bide some time. This morning we had our quiet and expensive breakfast here at the hotel and are waiting for check out time. We have a late checkout because we really don't have to be at the airport until about 4 this afternoon. Our flight is at 6 this evening. We will meet our group at the airport and all fly together tonight. We are in the phase of our travels where you "hurry up and then wait". We wanted to arrive here a day early because we didn't want to miss our connections. We have experienced too many travel difficulties in the past and didn't want to try to make the trip from TC all in one day. That is all for now. I know this posting is a little boring but not too much is happening with us yet. HOWEVER, we are very excited and really looking forward to this wonderful adventure.

See you on the radio.
