One Day In New York City (June, 2008)

 
Heading out to our friends' wedding in New Jersey we decided to fly in and out of Newark and go out a day early in order to spend just one day in "The City" just the two of us.

The logistics were quite a challenge but we got them worked out alright.  Our flight left Springfield at 5pm and after a several hour layover in Chicago we landed at Newark at 2am.  By the time we got our bags and got through a hotel shuttle screw-up we hit the sack at 3:30am in a Hampton Inn next to the airport.  The next morning we got up as early as we could stand, took a hotel shuttle to the airport and jumped on NJ Transit to NYC and then rode the subway to our hotel in downtown Manhattan--the Marriott Downtown.  This was the great view from our room.
