Just a quick little hello and goodbye from the both of us. We left you in New York after our trip to Brooklyn for a basketball game and a tour of Radio City Music Hall.
After all that excitement we started to wind down and did some shopping again and just some final looking around. On our last night in New York City we caught up with a friend from our India travels and walked the High line park with her. This is an old section of elevated railway tracks in the Meat Packing District that has been converted to a beautiful skyline walk that makes you feel that you are no longer in the thick of it all. Its a beautiful place to sit and ponder and maybe see some local acts or buskers and get a bite to eat.
After walking the High line we headed back to the hotel for the last minute packing and fretting about whether they would accept our baggage or not.
After getting to the airport we checked our bags in a little overweight but they did accept it. Checked through the long line for security and headed to the gate to head to San Francisco (the first leg of the home trip).
After a 6 hour flight from New York to San Francisco we wandered through the airport got a sandwich and some nibbles. We heard them announce that our flight was full so they were cutting down the hand baggage allowance to ensure that they could fit it all in. So we check in another 2 bags (this time free of charge) and got on our flight.
After a long arse flight from San Francisco to Auckland (with kids in the row behind us yelling most of the way and kicking the back of the seats for the last part of the trip) we arrived with little sleep under our belts and a little worse for wear.
So we are sitting here in Auckland waiting to board our last flight. The other end we will pick up our 5 checked bags and clear customs and go home to crash.
We will add some photos up in the next couple of days from our time in New York so please check back!
Love to all
Toot and Gordo
