On Monday morning we said goodbye to Daniel and Elizabeth (off to work) and Rose and Olivia (off to daycare). We lounged around before taking an Uber to Union Station for our train. Had a nice lunch at Shake Shack and then found a redcap porter to escort us and our bags to our train. Thanks to Gina for the suggestion. These trains are very comfortable so the 3-1/2 hour trip went quickly. Another Uber to our hotel, Residence Inn by Marriott on 54th St. Our corner room is on the 62nd floor. My ears pop with every elevator ride, but we have a nice partial view of Central Park and the Hudson River. We went to a pub around the corner and had a mediocre dinner for major money. Welcome to New York!
Tuesday morning we had a nice hot buffet breakfast included with the room. Then we tried unsuccessfully to get something notarized (needed witnesses who know us) and just walked around absorbing the city. In the evening we saw My Fair Lady at the Lincoln Center, only a 15 minute walk. It was a wonderful show and was directed by Bartlet Sher, a San Franciscan from a family I know.
So another good trip to NYC and tomorrow we board the ship.
