so it took jet blue 45 minutes to de-ice the plane this morning. The only bad thing was that I only had a 30 minute layover in NYC for my connecting flight to Phoenix. The next flight is 12 hours later so I had some time on my hands. I decided to go into town and check out the sites. I didn’t come prepared to walk around NYC so I had to buy a sweatshirt and the only one on sale was a NY Islanders hoodie. Too bad the islanders are last in their division, doh! Maybe it’s a sign I should start watching hockey.
Anyway, a few train rides later I make it to times square and work my way over to the Nintendo store…. SO MONEY! I spent over an hour there and played all of the new games. I really like the wii fit board but did horrible at the snowboarding game. It’s alot more sensitive than the real thing so I kept crashing on the sides. Still loads of fun so maybe elena will get it for Father’s Day. (cough*hint*cough) From there I worked my way up through rock center and up to central park. It was nice to sit down and take a break, my backpack was getting pretty heaving from the things I bought. Next stop was the Lincoln center which is being partially renovated. By that point I was uber tired so I headed back. Overall, it was a good time. The worst part was having to go through security again.
On a side note, my iphone was really helpful. The maps app had all of the metro stops and times and the walking directions were on point. I also got to use the urbanspoon app for the first time, NY pizza… the best!
Finally, I say DANKU New York City, it was a unexpected but pleasant surprise. I’m looking forward to coming back with Ebomber.
