Well at last we’re off. Of course after hoping for snow for ages (all my life) today would be the day for it to start.
The ground was white when we got up, well to be honest I’d been up most of the night. Ever since I packed on Tuesday (one of Marias other bears kindly lent me a backpack) I’ve been rairing to go.
The taxi arrived on time and after a little difficulty negotiating the local roads we found the main roads were fine and apart from hitting some traffic we got to the airport fine and checked in.
The photo shows me in the lounge watching the planes and reading a copy of CNN Traveler which had an interesting article about polar bears.
Our flight was late taking off but luckily the flight was only 6hrs 45mins and we landed early. I shared Maria’s window seat and had a great view flying over Nova Scotia and landing at Newark Liberty airport.
By 2.30pm New York time we were in the apartment, travel is so much easier these days. It’s a lovely appartment with a fantastic view of the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson, I’ll try and get a photo of it tomorrow. John and Maria went out for a quick wander and to do some shopping but I’d had enough for the day, I think I need a good long rest and I’ll write again tomorrow.
