Monday 9th April..
I'm writing this final blog at 31,000 ft, on the return flight to Blighty.
This morning Sally arrived at our hotel and we sorted our bags into the left luggage place, (we didn't need to get the train to Newark airport until 3 so had to leave our stuff somewhere), then we decided to revisit the place we had enjoyed the most - Greenwich Village.
I treated myself to an authentic New York made "flat cap" from a hat makers on Bleeker Street, and Sally bought herself a souvenir t-shirt... After coffee in another great little cafe and a long, relaxing sit down in Washington Square we returned to the hotel to collect our bags and leave once and for all.
Footnote... The luggage check in arrangement for United Airlines at Newark is bloody awful! The system is a "self service" set up, where you go to unmanned terminals and input your flight details, except this is not explained anywhere, so people are confused and desperately waiting for a airline representative to help them out. This caused a load of stress and tempers were frayed..... Sally subsequently told us that Virgin Airlines were efficient and no problem at all.......
