The Beginning
29. maaliskuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Our Uber ride was right on time. The flight to NYC was on time. All good until the landing in LGA. We were almost on the ground when the plane took off and started to climb up. We were told that the wind was too strong to land. Two more attempts did not do anything and we were told we are flying to Long Island airport instead.
We landed in Long Island McArthur airport one hours later then scheduled time for LGA.
We were offered to get off in LI, but the luggage will go to LGA or stay on the plane for later departure to LGA. We decided on later.
We took off about an hour later and after a very short flight landed at LGA.
With all these we arrived in NYC only slightly over 2 hours late.
We took taxi to our hotel and met our son-in-law. Dropped our luggage in the room and walked 3 block to Indian restaurant for a delicious dinner.
Then back to the hotel for a good night rest.Lue lisää

NYC Day 2
30. maaliskuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F
We had early wake-up today. Boris forgot to turn his alarm from yesterday off.
The good part is our daughter’s apartment is across from our hotel. We crossed Broadway and went for good breakfast at her place.
After breakfast, back to our hotel to get ready for the day.
By 10:00AM we were at the National Nature and Science museum. This was our first time at this museum. We spent good three hours and just scratched the surface.
After museum we walked back to the hotel so Boris could rest and I went for a walk.
After light dinner, we took a bus to see Alvin Alley ballet. Excellent dancing, but weird contemporary art. Still enjoyable.

Tomorrow is a big day. Did not decide on what to do in the morning. It is supposed to rain all day, but in the evening is Gala.Lue lisää

NYC Day 3
31. maaliskuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Today right after breakfast we walked to 72nd street to take subway to Ground Zero. Boris never been there.
We walked all over and then walked towards Chinatown. Had a great lunch and it was about time to head back to the hotel.
Our problem is that we need to find subway with an elevator. To do so, we had to take bus to the subway station with an elevator and then subway to our hotel.
Unfortunately, we hopped on the wrong bus. Soon enough we realized the mistake and transferred on the correct one.
We got off the bus and now we had to find an elevator. Google maps showed we had to walk a block, but Boris spotted elevator on the corner. We took it down. That elevator took us to a different line. No problem, we just have to transfer to our line on 42st. Well, it was not easy. The walk was probably close to a mile, but we did it and got to the hotel around 3pm. Time to clean ourselves and get ready for the evening.
At 5:30PM we took an Uber to Essex hotel to the Gala, celebrating the 33rd anniversary of Midori and Friends organization.
For 33 years, Midori and Friends, founded by violin virtuoso Midori, invested in over 320,000 students in NYC by providing tuition free music education program. She was only 21 when the organization was formed.
Our Daugherty is executive director of the organization. In addition to all her everyday work, she is the organizer of every detail the event.
There were Broadway performers, very talented young musicians and excellent speakers including Midori.
Amazing evening and very proud of my daughter.
We got back to our hotel under pouring rain.
Time to rest.Lue lisää

NYC Day 4.
1. huhtikuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 45 °F
Day four in NYC started with a sunny, cold and windy day.
In the morning we went to the Central Park. It is only 4 blocks from our hotel. We loved that park was pretty empty, the trees and flowers started to bloom.
In the afternoon, our daughter came to our hotel and we spend few hours together.
At 6:00PM we meet with our niece and younger generation went to see a show and we went to see Sunset Boulevard show.
It was ok, but the singing was wonderful.
We met after show and took subway back to our hotel.Lue lisää

Today Boris went to NJ to visit his older sister. Her daughter drove him to NJ and back to NYC. So nice of her. Meanwhile, I met with Larisa and we took subway to her office. Then we went to the biggest post offices with zip code 10001.
Great lunch followed by long walk.
After that, I took subway to the hotel and Larisa went back to work.
In the evening we all went to Italian restaurant for a dinner. Larisa is flying home (South Carolina) tomorrow.Lue lisää

NYC Day 6
3. huhtikuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
This morning started off with the rain, so we took a bus to Metropolitan Museum. You can never get tired of this beautiful museum. So much to see and learn.
After we left museum, we walked through Central Park to the West Side, had wonderful lunch and back to the hotel.
I spend a little time packing and then walked to supermarket to get some food for tomorrow morning.
At 5:30PM we left hotel and took bus to 52 street to attend a show. We are seeing Cabaret show. As soon as we entered theatre, our phone camera was covered with a big sticker. No photos anywhere.
The show was fantastic, we loved it.
After the show, we took a bus back to the hotel. Tomorrow is a day of travel.Lue lisää

Goodbye NYC. Hello Florida.
4. huhtikuuta, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
I decided to try Carmel Limo service instead of uber or taxi. It was less expensive and reviews mostly good. It did not disappointed us. The roomy car came 5 min early to our hotel. Everything fitted nicely. The car was comfortable and clean.
We arrived at LGA with plenty of time. The flight was uneventful, which is good.
We arrived at our AirBnB only one mile from the airport. One small hick up. Our check in suitcase had brocken wheel. Not good. Fortunately, we are close to the mall. We took Uber to have a dinner and then walked to TJMax to get a new suitcase.

We left our accommodation at 11:00AM and were able to board the ship as soon as we arrived. It is a bigger ship than we aver took, but for us it is a transportation to Europe.
Today is a busy day of unpacking and getting to know the ship.
After dinner I went for 2 miles walk. We sailed at 8:30PM instead of 5:00PM due to the medical emergency.Lue lisää

Our crossing to Europe has began. For two days we will be crossing ocean on the way to Bermuda. The weather is perfect. We are keeping busy by walking on the deck around the ship, going to a lectures, wine testing, painting classes for Boris, concerts and of course eating. Entertainment is pretty good, so we are not bored.Lue lisää

Bermuda for a Day
8. huhtikuuta, Bermuda ⋅ 🌬 70 °F
After two days at sea, we arrived in Bermuda at 8:30AM. Yesterday I booked Bermudaful Island Tour in Viator. We were debating between going to the beach or the tour. The tour won, it will be easier for Boris.

In 1609, the English Virginia Company, which had established Jamestown in Virginia two years earlier, permanently settled Bermuda in the aftermath of a hurricane, when the crew and passengers of Sea Venture steered the ship onto the surrounding reef to prevent it from sinking, then landed ashore. All 150 people on the ship and a dog survived.

Today’s tour was just drive around the island with few stops for pictures and a lunch break.

It was pretty windy and the water in the ocean is not very warm, so the tour probably was a good choice. The most amazing is the colour of the water and astronomical prices for everything.Lue lisää
