| DAY 1 | The 24 hour day | |
Up at the crack of dawn to deliver our perfumed doggies to Jo for the first bit of their holidays.
Hollie " Bear Cabbed" us to Gatwick for our flight to JFK New York airport.
The inevitable Weatherspoons pint and a burger for Ian, Breakfast brunch for me.
The plane eventually took off about an hour late, the pilot managed to make up a little of the lost time.
Our Budget Rent a car, just a short mono rail ride from the arrivals gate, took a lot of time as we initially rejected this lovely grey number as the boot was too small, I wasn't keen on the condition of the bodywork either, it appeared to have been used in a drive by shooting! We now have a shiny new santa fe, bright red with some sort of gluey substance splattered all over its front end.
A ride over the Brooklyn Bridge was the highlight of our exhausting drive to Pennsville, we stopped for a hurried Burger King and touched down in our motel a few minutes ago. We have been up for just over 24 hours now and need our beds.
Goodnight dear reader, the adventure begins tomorrow xx
