2023 February 25 ~ Traveling to New York City for our NCL Cruise

YEAH ITS FINALLY HERE


Up very early this morning. Our bus picked us up at 7:32 from Gananoque car pool lot just like they said.  Thank you Frank for taking us here and waiting so we didn’t get cold  I was like a kid in a candy store with this big grin on my face. It’s freakin cold -20 c this morning so our Uggs were a must and a fleecy winter jacket. This is a sold out tour so we are masking as much as possible. Bus ride to the border we stopped at the Duty Free for a potty break and water or snacks.  Then we all got back on the bus and our next stop will be a mall in Scranton Pennsylvania for lunch as there are food courts and an Applebee’s of coarse we had a slice of pizza. They gave us a hour for lunch then it was back on the bus for the rest of the way to New York City.  Yep glad we wore our Uggs today because tonight when we walk around our feet will be snug as a bug in a rug Ha ha.  We are staying at the Marriott Marquis on 46th and Broadway. Right in Times Square.   Like right where the Ball drops on New Years .  






                    Singing waiter and waitress here.  So entertaining. We just peeked in



We got all checked in and put things in the safe then we have dinner at 5:30 on the 8th floor which is the lobby and all the restaurants and gift shops. At dinner we meet  alot of people from the Kingston Belleville area.  It’s been a very long day and we just came in from our short walk around Times Square.  Until you’ve seen Times Square at night, you haven’t really seen New York.  Dazzling lights illuminate the area, pedestrians from every corner of the world converge a cacophony of sounds from street musicians to taxi horns fills the air.  Dozen of theatres each present world class performances, restaurants and shops beckon you to come and take a look.  The general hubbub of activity makes Times Square a place like no other.  As the song suggests “There’s no business like show business.”and there’s no better place to experience it than Times Square. Tomorrow will be a very busy day so we are calling it a night.    Nighty night all ❤️
