Well, it was time to leave Olympia today - sad to leave after having such a great time with everyone, but New York was calling.
The flight from Seattle to New York with American Airlines was about 5 hours 20 and made me appreciate how good the airlines in Australia are - you get the feeling you are an inconvenience to the Flight Attendants (maybe I am!). Anyway, arrived in New York (JFK) and proceeded to get my initiation into the New York way of life by the Airport Shuttle driver, who must have had 10 cups of coffee by that time - he was a maniac! He wouldn't stop beeping his horn (I asked him how is blood pressure was - he just laughed!), but I soon realised that everyone does this and it is perfectly normal! Somehow I made it to the hotel - The New Yorker Ramada (Cnr of 34 W and 8th Avenue for those playing at home) - in one piece!
The hotel is in a great location, so even though it was about 8.30pm by the tme I settled in, I went for a short walk to Times Square and realised what all the fuss was about - bloody amazing. I love this place - it's full on 24/7, but as long as you go along with that, you are fine - when in Rome...
