6/13
Our first day. Nice flights, first to Seattle, then on to Newark. Highlight - they had internet access on the plane, which was really fun. Got to chat with Sara via Facebook.
Upon landing in Newark, weather was rainy and gloomy. New York looked yucky. Took another crazy cab ride from the airport to our Hotel in the upper west side.
After checking into our hotel - which is small but nice - we took a cab to the Delta Grill - where I had my delicious cedar plank salmon with rosemary and apples, and Joanie had fried green tomatoes. A very nice dinner.
After dinner, the rain had subsided so we walked the streets on the west side - lots of restaurants and people. Stopped periodically along the way to check the Laker score and chat with locals along the way. Walked to the south entrance to Central Park, then took a cab back to the hotel… where we watched the Lakers lose again.
After a romantic evening in New York, we slept well, and after blogging, we are on to Day 2’s adventures.
