At Sea!
















Today we had a great breakfast at a barbecue place that was right across the street from our hotel. We met some folks from Sydney who are visiting the US for about 10 days. They had some questions about tipping, which we were happy to answer. Afterwards we made our way to the Pier to catch the Norwegian Dawn. It was a pretty easy boarding process, though we discovered there are no laundry facilities and you have to send your laundry to the ship's service. How about $1.95 for a pair of socks? Thankfully, I did what i thought might have been some over packing which will get us through with just minimal things to be washed. We are on our way to dinner. Pictures are from the incredible trip down the Hudson river. You will recognize the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, a Staten Island Ferry, and the skyline of New York. The last one is of Martin at the Java Cafe' on board ship while we waited for our State Room to be readied. Tomorrow is a day at sea on our way to Halifax!
