Goodbye LA

Having to be at LAX by 8.30am for our Virgin America flight to New York meant that the Saturday the 5th was effectively a travel day. As a Saturday we didn’t have to worry as much about traffic, so had a smooth trip back to the Hertz drop off. Sadly we had to say goodbye to the Mustang, which Kathryn had christened Sally. A quick bus ride later and we were at the Virgin terminal.

The flight to New York was fairly uneventful, although flying over New York at night was pretty spectacular. By going to the East we were losing time so despite a five hour flight we didn’t get in until about 7pm, which didn’t leave much time for sightseeing once we got through the airport and into the hotel. The hotel itself was on a block leading off Time Square so it couldn’t be easier to get out and look around, but to save the sights for the next days we simply hit a pizza joint for some New York style pizza and then hit the hay.

Look out for the New York update tomorrow, covering all four NY days!
