Sadly today is our last day in New York, we'll be flying home tonight but not until nearly 7pm so what to do with our last few hours in New York. Of course, shopping!!! We head for the garment district, battling the early morning shoppers until the boys spot a sports shop followed by Macy's. Now as many of you know Macy's is huge, we or rather the boys, manage one floor before admitting defeat and retiring with their purchases. Lunch is needed they declare, but not until I've dragged them into H&M for a bit of girlie retail therapy. While they look at the tiny men's section (according to Tom) I manage to find some items to buy. Now the problem starts, my card won't work, so unfortunately for Dave he has to pay..
At last I'm removed from the shop, and taken to lunch at The Houndstooth Pub. We must have had some of the most well filled sandwiches in America. I have to resort to deconstructing the sandwich to eat them. It's time for the last dash back to the apartment in time for a shower before getting a cab to the airport. Now how amazing is this the cab driver used to live in near by Bedford!! The traffic on the way to the airport is awful, the journey takes twice as long as usual. It's a good job it's a set fee for the transfer to the airport, we're very grateful to the major of New York. All checked in, the plane takes off slightly late but with a good following wind we land early in cold, grey London.
As we're too early for our train, we opt for the healthy breakfast, a full English cooked breakfast - sometimes it's good to be home. The train journey to Kettering is a struggle we're all jet lagged and struggling to stay awake, it's a good job the train terminates at Corby otherwise we might have made Sheffield before we woke up!! Good job one of us set the alarm on their phone.
