And we’re off!
We were up at 5am and immediately off to Heathrow with Keith at the wheel. Everything went very smoothly with the automated bag drop and priority security check. We had a good breakfast and a brief visit to the vast BA lounge. We’d been upgraded to Club so we had a super comfortable flight.
US immigration was swift and surprisingly welcoming. Avis had a very nice Ford Fusion waiting and the Waze lady guided us to the Midtown tunnel through some lesser know parts of Queens and Brooklyn. We arrived at Jinny’s hotel – the Marriott Marquis – around midday, dropped the car with the parking valet and Jinnie’s bag with the hotel porter and went across the street to Junior’s for lunch.
After lunch we met up with Jinny’s room mate and her dad. Georgie and I left them to check in and drove up to our digs at the Courtyard Marriott in Tarrytown. A restoring snooze and then we drove down to the riverside for supper at Hudson Farmer and the Fish.
