Monday,September 15

WOW, to wake up, look out the window and see the Statue of Liberty from your coach is awesome. We left for the City on the PATH train, only 5 blocks from our coach. Next we took a cab to Pier 83, bottom of 43 Street, and the Circle Line Boat dock. The Circle Line Cruise took us on a 3 hour tour around the island of Manhattan. The guide has done this since 1989, so he knew all the buildings and sights to see. I highly recommend this tour if you every visit NYC. From the tour we headed to Carnegie's Deli. An old favorite from our flying days. The atmosphere is NEW YORKISH, and the food is outstanding; especially the cheese cake. After eating we walked down to Times Square and over to Grand Central Station. On the way down, our route took us past the headquarters of Lehmann Investments. If you recall Monday was the day they declared bankruptcy, so the news media were everywhere.
One new store on Times Square was the M&M outlet. Never saw so many M&M's and all the things to go with them.
Our trip back to the campground was again on the PATH train, a total of 18 minutes on board. Great way to get around.
