Flying to New York City


So we set off on Thursday at 9:45 as we had an 1:00 PM flight to New York City via Dulles Washington. Flight was awfully boring but time passed as i slept the whole time. Then as we landed in Dulles we connected on to a small plane to take us to New York City. Unfortunately i was stuck in a two seater with a man who took up half my seat as well as his so it was a dreadful 40 min as i was squished throughout the flight. When we arrived in New York we stayed at our ex-neighbor Marjorie's house which was located right next to Central Park and the Saint Regis. Since the weather was supposed to be terrible the following day we decided to take a walk throughout the city at 1:00 AM. We went into the huge Mac store, strolled by Radio City Hall, NBC Studios, and Time Square, which was a cool site as it was all lit up. We didn't get back till 3:00 AM so it was quite an adventure. We even met a man who walked around with a cat on his head. After settling back in i decided to not fall asleep whereas the rest of the family passed out. It was already 3:30 AM and i had intentions on walking to NBC studios at 5:30 AM so sleeping was not going to walk. Around 5:30 i went to wake my dad as he promised he would wake up to go with me. Unfortunaly he had not slept in the past couple days so he told me to go away. As a result i had to wait until 7:00 AM before we departed for NBC studio. Reaching the Today Show studio at 7:15 AM we waited in line to get a glimpse of Al Roker and the gang. At this time rumors were spread that Brad Pitt was showing up to promote his new movie so we changed our position to get a chance to see him. Unfortunately he never showed up and after waiting out there i have to admit it is not much fun watching the today show in 30* weather. So we strolled back to the apartment as it was starting to cool down and even saw some camels on the way back. So we then decided to nap and when we woke up New York was a blizzard and we were forced to take the Subway instead of a Cab to JFK Airport. Fortunately the trip was fine and we reached the airport awaiting our 17 hr flight.
