A Dream Trip to New York
With our last morning still to enjoy in New York, we felt like doing something out of the ordinary for us, so we took the subway into Harlem to check out the famous Apollo Music venue. They were still doing a tribute to Michael Jackson. Later we did a bit of shopping to prepare for the weddings we were to attend when we get back to England.
It was time to pack up our things and check out of what we think was one of the greatest hotels in NY! We made our way via train to JFK with plenty of time on our hands. We checked in before going onto departures. See, we wanted to finish up our own honeymoon with some Champagne. This struck us as fitting, because we started our trip with a bottle of champagne while we were at Heathrow airport. But, unfortunately, none of the bars at JFK carried any champagne, so we ended up with two Gin and Tonics, and those really hit the spot!
On our plane, we hit some pretty bad turbulence and then some pretty interesting in-flight movies, so we didn’t get any sleep. When we arrived to London, it was overcast and dreary, just how we remember it to be. We were a pair of zombies coming out the plane and collected our bags where our folks were happy to greet us. We’ve been away for almost 4 months, so the hugs were long, but not too long because the British Lions returned home the same time we did, emerging the same time as us, so my new father-in-law promptly welcomed the Lions back home as well.
It was great to be back home, but as we were pulling away from Heathrow, we just looked at each other wandering if we’ll every see New York again.
