After our last meal in NYC - one last photo

It was a great trip. I asked Ron if we could stay just one more day because I didn't want to stay good-bye to my kids. It was time to come home, though. They need to get back to their lives and so do we, but it was so good to see them and to see that they are thriving. It makes a mama proud!

The absolute worst part of coming home was the flight. We got to LaGuardia at 3pm (noon our time). Our flight left shortly after 5 pm. Short flight to Baltimore - about 1 1/2 hours. Then a 1 1/2 hour layover - we ate and got on another plane. This leg of the trip was 3 hours 45 minutes to Denver...sigh..... The plane landed and we sat in Denver for about an hour. We stayed on the same plane and off again for another almost 3 hour flight to Oakland.  Picked up our bags, grabbed a cab and got home shortly after midnight.

Total travel time about 12 hours. Cheese and Rice! Next time, whatever the cost, it will be a direct flight!

It was worth it, though. It was a wonderful trip. Great place for a family reunion - fantastic shows - amazing food - terrific sightseeing. We got to see a little bit of The Big Apple preparations for Christmas and New Year's as well.

Merry Christmas, New York! Thanks for a great time!
