Well we finally arrived in NYC... let's just say the 24 hour trip to get here was nothing compared to the 2 hour ordeal from the airport to our hotel in the pouring, icy cold rain!
We were in Business class the whole way over, which was unreal as we both managed to get a good 5 or 6 hours sleep on the first leg of the trip, and then had another hour or two on the way from LA to NY.
After collecting our bags we were still in a bit of a daze when before we knew it we had two tickets on the airport bus to the city. Ok, but will it take us to the hotel? Apparently it would drop us at Grand Central Terminal and then a shuttle would take us to the hotel. However, when said shuttle finally arrived (after the bus had dropped us off in the middle of the rainy street) he only went a few blocks and wouldn't go as far as our hotel. So we decided to hail a cab... which sounds like it should be easy, but turned out to be quite the opposite on a rainy Thursday night. After many rejections and the beginnings of frostbite on our toes we finally managed to get a cab and made it to our hotel.
Our room is really nice, but small of course, and we can't wait to get some sleep and start checking everything out tomorrow.
Be good,
love Neri.xx
