New York


Hanging out on Canal Street spending all of Andy's money

We were in Battery Park, so I thought I would take a picture with the "Statue of Liberty"! Not really, it was like an all day wait to ride the fairy out!

On our way from Canal Street to see the Statue of Liberty on the subway!

Hey Linds & Keith, SLOW DOWN~ hehe JK

Keith took us out the the "Melting Pot"
We bumped into Mickey outside the NBC Studios

We had such a good time in New York, it was a much needed trip! It is always nice to leave town, but always nice to get back. We got to do so much while we were there. We went into New York City two different days. Lindsay got us around the city so well for not having much experience. She got that map out and guided us all over, to every attraction we wanted to see. We saw the Empire State Building, Rockafeller Plaza, Canal Street, Battery Park where you over look the Statue of Liberty. We went and saw the broadway "Lion King", and that was really really cool. After our show got out, we were right there in Time Square. That was awsome to see at night. We rode around on the subways from one place to the next, and ate tonz and tonz of good food!! We had a lot of bad luck in the flying department both on our way out there,and on our way back. Right when I was getting ready to leave my house to go the SLC airport, a 1-800 number kept calling 3-4 times. I finally answered it and it was a recording saying our flight had been cancelled due to bad weather. So we did not leave until 6 hours later. Then on our way coming home, the only flight that was left leaving New York on that day was the 6:05am flight out. So I booked us on it, but that meant we had to get up at 3:30am to get there on time with the hour drive to get there from Lindsay's house. We made our flight out, then got into Dallas, and were getting ready to board our next flight, when they came on and said that the plane had not passed its inspection so they were getting us a new plane. They told us to come down to a different terminal and they would start boarding the new plane. We all got on and were sitting in the plane ready to back up. We sat there for almost an hour and a half,and they finally came on and said they were running some tests on the plane,and that we would be taking off soon. Finally they came on and said there was a broken hydraulic line and they were going to have to cancel this flight also. We had to all get back off the plane, and get back in line and try to get rebooked on a diff. flight. The only flight they had out that day was at 6:30pm that night. Mom and I had to sit in the Dallas airport from 8:30am til 6:30pm. I was so pissed. I was supposed to get into SLC at 11:05am. Instead it was 9:00pm. What a joke! Who do you know that two planes in a row break down on them?? Point of my story, Think twice before booking a ticket on American Airlines. So much for a free frequent flier ticket! It was all worth the stress anyway!!!
