On our way to the USA


We left Perth airport with Singapore airlines

Stopped of at Changi Airport. We were amazed at the opulence and extent of this airport. We had to catch the sky train between terminals. Paul was mesmerised by the Rolex shop and I stopped to have a scribble with the kids...


Next stop was a brief layover at Frankfurt. Definitely not a Changi-style airport and security was the highest we had experienced so far.

We arrived at JFK Airport NY. Again, a huge airport with sky trains. We found it very easy to get around.

We decided to hit the NYC Subway to get to Manhattan....how hard could it be?
We asked Customs for directions (yeah i know not the best people to ask for directions!!!) and they suggested a quick 2 hour taxi ride to our destination, Wall Street Manhattan for about $50. We then asked at Information desk, and a disinterested woman suggested a shuttle for $28.74 each. $28.74??? Why such a weird figure? Who knows. Then Paul says, let's catch the subway we can get unlimited subway passes for $30 for the entire week. We had a conversation with a random stranger who knew exactly what line we needed to catch and the station we needed to get off. 40 mins later we arrived at chambers street station...


we arrived in downtown Manhattan!!! We were in NYC...


A quick 5 min walk to our hotel....

And it's nap time :)
We r NYC subway experts now lol :)
Good night
