Well after getting on the plane in Gatwick & getting down the runway, some other plane had to make an emergency landing so the whole runway got closed down. So we had to sit there for a good 2 hours before we took off, so 10 hours sat on the plane wasn't fun!! But oh well...
....We made it to New York!! We got to the hotel, met up with the Clarks, headed to Central Park for a bit of a walk, then went down to Times Sqaure & ate at the 'Bubba Gump' shrimp company, which is based on Forrest Gump. Then today (saturday), we both got up at 7.30 and went for a hardcore run around Central Park...However when we finished we realised we weren't at the bottom where we started, but at they very top of Central Park - just the 50 or so blocks away!!
Ha, then we went to the Empire State, also got dragged round a few shops by Kristen on 5th Avenue & then hit the American Museum Of National History...basically the museum from the movie Night At The Museum...No Ricky Gervais though unfortunately!! I also almost got kicked out of Toys R' US tonight...there was a Barbie house but the top level was all blocked off, so I accidently moved the barrier & headed upstairs for a photo - before security arrived to escort me from there!! Ha, obviously I got the photo though!!
So we get the car in the morning in the middle of Manhattan, and plan to drive to Atlantic City, New Jersey to stay for sunday night. Having lost a much-anticipated coin toss this afternoon, I have the honour of driving the trecherous streets of Manhattan, so you never know, we might not even leave New York....!!
