We arrived in New York at 8:15 PM. We had an awful time taking luggage from Delta to Pan Am. Finally made it and Patty and I explored Kennedy Airport. We went to the roof and saw the skyline of NY. It was great! Finally boarded the plane and left NY at approximately 1:15 AM. It was rough at first but leveled off. We sat right in front of a movie screen - Boy - too close. However, after about six hours we finally arrived.
