We flew into JFK airport, and have a 15 hour stopover while we wait for our American Airlines flight to San Diego. So what do you do? Obvious: give Gareth a whistlestop tour of Manhattan. We visited Time Square, went up the Empire State Building, walked across Central Park, shopped on 5th Avenue, walked through Grand Central Station, walked the Broooklyn Bridge, and saw City Hall, using one taxi and the subway. I’m pretty wired right now from the large number of Starbucks we’ve been visiting to try and keep awake. Right now it’s 9.53pm (Eastern standard time) and our flight doesn’t leave until 6.30am. We were up at 2.40am (GMT), and I daren’t do the maths unless I find out that I shouldn’t be awake and keel over. Far better I dose up on hot brown sugary stimulants. We’ll go back to the airport when we’re too tired to walk any more, and grab an hour or two kip somewhere uncomfortable.
Here are some more pics – I’ll post more when I can pull them off the camera’s memory card.
