13-11-2014 Thursday USA Trip Day 7
Last day
Quick trip to Brooklyn Macy’s to buy some more jeans then off to Coney Island to see the Sea.
Nice sandy beach but being November it was closed. Today the weather turned, I had to wear my fleece!
Had a hot dog and cheese fries at Nathans. Apparently they are famous for their hot dogs!
Left Coney Beach and collected bags and went for our flight.
Flight took 5 hours, instead of 6 and screens worked great. Also a better system with Aer Lingus than on the United flight! Far more control.
When we landed the ground crew had not yet started their shift. lol
Classic door security! Only previously seen on TV!

Shopping and site seeing.
A bit of low cloud today
Started at the 9/11 memorial to see it in day light, not as impressive, but still very moving,
Went to the top Northern End of central park, near Harlem, then walked through it also did the Nike Store, Empire State Building, All the way to floor 102, Macy’s again, the great multi diner place we found the day before.
Little miss had some vegetarian food at Times square, I had a McDonalds!
