Today was a tad slower. Everyone enjoyed a non scheduled sleep in. Breakfast out with huge amounts of butter and oil soked French toast and sausage and egg for the missus and I. 3 eggs, not 2, is de minimus. It was cooler  temp today and a strong wind blew up as we took a water taxi ride around (most of) Manhattan Island.

Most of the group wnet on a following jet boat ride around the Hudson and East rivers. I accompanied Nick and Trent to a bowling alley where the son wooped his dads ass.

We ended the day with a Broadway thetre production, Motown. Quite good, but not so enjoyable when you have some black dudes sitting in front of you who were acting as if they were on crack, while 6 ft 6 Trent sat behind a group of short statured people. But a good time was had by all. Then it was to a bar where jwe had a few prior to sending this post, tee hee hee. I must add, while it again clicks over 1am, we actually fitted in dinner prior to the 8pm show which is positively adventageous.

Its about time I advised of the crowd we're travelling with: Nick and Janine, and their son Trent. They are catching up with him as he has been in USA for 2 yrs playing college basketball. As is frequently the case, boy meets girl. Howver in this case Trent has met a girl of his dreams, and has announced their engagement. Oh, the joy at this end. All romantic it was too. Anyway, Hannah has now returned home to Minnesota while Trent continues with us until our Maui leg. Having met the betrotheds parents over dinner a few nights ago, and moi making such an impression over a few cordials, I expect we will be invited to the big do next year. In Minnesota! Our future travel plans may be in disarray. I need to speak to the boss!

Gary and Jen we have known since the day Jen started her first job, which coincided with L's first day. All our kids went to scool together. We have shared previous hols together, from Hobert to Bali and Thailand, and now the USA. How I put up with them is anyones guess, but I have had a couple of beers.

Falling asleep now as I mentally prepare for tomorrows venture, being our last full day in NYC. Apparently I'm going shopping, hahaha...
