Okay here we go. Flight was at lunch so instead of rushing round in the early hours of the morning, we got up usual time and were able to relax (we did go to bed 3am the night before making sure we had done everything before we left and of course packed!). Dad drove us out to the airport without Chels 😞. Took ages to initally check in but went through customs quickly. On the flight we watched alot of movies. I watched I love Beth Cooper, Adam, MJ This is it, 500 days of Summer, Maos Last Dancer and something else. So whenever I felt my eyes closing I pushed pause and nodded off. Then all of a sudden it was breakfast but was only like 7pm our time so that was weird. Arrived in LA and dropped our bags at some dodgy bag drop and walked down to Virgin America. Read magazines while we waited. So on this flight we had free wi-fi! So Benn was on the net on the laptop and me on the iPhone. Very impressive! No movies or food on this flight so I slept quite a bit and Benn watched tv. Finally arrived in NY just under 24 hrs later. Caught the train from the airport to some station and got on the E subway to Penn station. We followed our instructions on our Hotel Coupon to west 31st street and the bloody hotel wasnt there!!! So that wasnt a good start. Tryed to call the number and that didnt work, wasnt looking good. Found a Starbucks and tried to use their internet and again didnt work. We walked away and then asked another Hotel where ours was and it was on 29th not 31st as it said. So we walked the 2 small blocks and there it was, about an hour and a half later!!! So we checked in and I played didnt he tell you its our honeymoon to try and get an upgrade which she said mayb tomorrow. So then we took our bags up and put on some more layers and went to a local Irish pub for dinner. My chicken wrap was discusting I couldnt even take a 2nd bite. So no tip for them! Cold is not so bad. We are using Mandy's hand warmers which is a gel that you click the metal thing in and they warm up and last about an hour. Im also using my neck warmer and head band as a nose band. Went back to Hotel and looked through maps and stuff. Had a hot bath and then went to bed.
