Wanderlust: Day 3

Day 3 – It seemed like a good idea L I thought that if the change of connecting flights meant we had to spend some time in LA that we might as well spend as much time as possible hence the choice of the ‘red eye’ to NY! I even took a sleeping pill to ensure rest …… wrong! Did not sleep a wink….don’t know if it was the bumpy flight or the fact that the pilot unnerved me from the start when she singled Gordy and I out and came over for a little chat before boarding! I had it in my mind that she might have been an imposter! Anyway, we obviously arrived in NY safely but as we were early to the hotel, could not book in. Found a diner for breakfast then walked down to Madison Square Gardens to pick up our tickets for “A Christmas Story” for today's show at 1pm. Back to the hotel, room still not available (we were very early) so hung around in the lobby until time to go to the show. Show was lots of fun…only drifted off once or twice, Gordy just about slept through the whole thing! Walked back along 6^th Ave. This morning there was hardly anybody around, now there were people everywhere….New York is amazing!

We are staying at the Sofitel in New York. Rooms are a good size by New York standards…chocolates on arrival, daily Evian, Hermes products and consistent Sofitel service. Have slept for a while, now wide awake so think we might go out to eat somewhere then come back and attempt a normal night’s sleep J
