We (me, Jack, Jack and Jane (Spirit)) got up early Tuesday morning to head to New York City. John, our gracious harbor host, took us to the train station so we could catch our train into Manhattan. We took the train to the end of Staten Island, got on the Staten Island Ferry into Manhattan, and then took the subway to Times Square. On Wednesday we repeated the travel, except when we reached Manhattan we walked down a few docks and got on a tour boat (as if we don't spend enough time on a tour boat!). We bought tickets for a hop on/hop off bus tour and, between the two days, we saw uptown, downtown, and everything in between. A few of the highlights were Times Square, Rockefeller Center, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, World Trade Center, Ground Zero Memorial Park, and an afternoon matinee of Jersey Boys. Both nights we had good dinners, took an express bus back to Staten Island (napping along the way), and fell into bed.
