Instead we got up and went to breakfast downstairs
We then sorted out our luggage and left it with the hotel to look after - they weren’t able to extend our departure time
For the last time we walked down 8th Avenue and just before Central Park what did we find?
A hardship indeed
We stayed there for a while before walking to Central Park and turning back on to 7th Avenue, and back to our favourite bar
Joss needed all the Dutch courage she could get after all
We then meandered (literally) back to the hotel via the last tat shop
We retrieved our bags and set off in the taxi from hell
Toronto taxis weave, New York taxis dominate the road - beeping and swerving all over the road
A journey that should take 45 mins took 75 and my knuckles are still white writing this
At the airport we got through security and decided on a pizza
Before somehow finding the bar
Afterwards I was caught a little “short” so went to the loo and had to use the handicapped cubicle
The problem with this was the loo roll was very low so I had to practically sit down to get some
Then every time I stood up to use said paper, the toilet flushed
It made it sound like I had a 6 flusher to get rid of - I’ve never scuttled out of a toilet so fast
The plane left on time and apart from being so, so hot, and a little bumpy in places, all went without a hitch
Our 2 bags must have been in the first 5 off the plane (winning again) and then we had the excitement of the return pod trip
The car was where we left it and the journey was almost incident free - apart from getting cut up with the house practically in sight
That would have been right 3900 miles without any problems then crash with 4 miles to go ;-)
It was a GREAT holiday - one that will live long in the memory - just need to catch up on some sleep ...zzzzz
