We woke up at sparra's this morning. 3am to be exact. We were up, dressed and ready to go by 3.30. We went downstairs to checkout, and discovered our shuttle wasn't due to arrive until 4.30, and not 4.00 as I'd thought. Oops! Quick phone call and the shuttle came to get us at 4.00.
We got to the airport in San Diego and experienced the wonders of domestic air travel in America. Self check in was fine, then discovered that we actually had to pay for our bags! $75.00 poorer we headed through to security. There we got to go through the fabulous nudie xray machine. Totally a random pick, and we got randomly picked.... :( Oh well, some creepy man in a booth caught sight of my nudie bits... worse things could have happened I suppose! I'm sure my day was better than his....
So we wandered in and got some thickshakes at Macca's for breakfast. They were served with whipped cream and a cherry on top! Waited and waited and boarded our flight at 5.50am.
A boring 4hrs and 40 mins later we arrived in NYC at JFK. It was very pretty to see everything covered in snow. Not so pretty to see our fingers falling off from frostbite. lol
Couldn't figure out where to get the shuttle, but a nice man outside directed us to a phone and we were picked up 5 minutes later. It took one and a half hours from the airport to get to our hotel. Saw some great architecture along the way. NY houses are quite pretty, and in the snow, they looked like a painting.
Our hotel is quite nice. We are on the 6th floor with a view out over Broadway and into a kiddies ballet studio. They were very cute pirouetting all over the place.
We had to run out to buy Sofie a warm coat and found a great discount place a few blocks away. On the way back we stopped at a place called Manhattan Diner and ate a delicious dinner. The waiter was awesome and even told us we can call 24 hours a day and they will deliver to our room!
Back in the room and I went to do the laundry which will be finished drying in about 7 minutes.
Tomorrow we meet with our Big Apple Greeter. Should be a great day if the weather holds out. It says in the forecast snow and rain.... with a low of -4C to a top of 3C. My fur is getting a work out! Lets hope I don't run into any animal activists!!
Google is telling me I can't insert pictures at the moment for some reason!! Poo!
Ah well, hopefully tomorrow it will be all sorted....
