Today we woke up VERY early, but for a VERY GOOD reason: our trip to NYC!! We took our flight at Orlando International Airport at 7am and arrived at NY's JFK around 9:30. First thing we did was took our transfer from there to our hotel (Room Mate Grace, very, very close to Times Square) and once we got there they told us we had to wait a little bit because our rooms weren't ready yet, so we decided to go to have lunch somewhere and, then, our first walk around the amazing TIMES SQUARE!!!!
For those who had been here before it was great to be in the "heart" of the world, but for the ones whose this was their first time, it was like a dream. We felt overwhelmed and excited at the same time to see all the ads and the flat screens shining bright and advertising musicals, shop stores, movies, concerts, telling the news, etc... We even went to the red stairs that are in the middle of TS to get a general view and, WOW! It was truly amazing!!!
Then we headed to the M&M's store and we spend half an hour taking pictures of everything and buying big bags full of delicious M&M's!! Right after we stopped by a souvenir shop and some of us tried to find something for their families or friends like if there wasn't tomorrow.
Now we're back to our nice hotel to get some rest and to get ready to walk a little bit more in the evening... We're really excited to discover more secrets of the city that never sleeps!!!
