Now that’s the way to travel… let someone else get you there. We got up and going early catching the 6AM train from Union Station to Penn Station, arriving shortly before 9AM. We will be staying at the New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania, but before we check in we have much to do. My buddy Russ came up from just outside of Philadelphia to join us for the next couple of days. I’ve known Russ for 25 years and he has been living in this area for the last 8 months. In addition, my wife Sandy who does not like baseball, but has dreamed to see the Statue of Liberty in New York forever has flown in from Seattle and arrived at JFK at 7:25AM. We got to see the Statue this morning. While Sandy was taking the train from JFK and we were taking the “1” from Penn Station we met up in time to catch the 9:30 ferry to the Statue of Liberty. We spent just less than and hour and a half on Liberty Island before taking the ferry back to lower Manhattan. From there it’s was off to Yankee Stadium for the afternoon game versus Atlanta. We took the “4” train direct all of the way to Yankee Stadium and got there in time for the 1:05PM start. While at the Stadium we dined on ballpark cuisine and really enjoyed seeing a game at Yankee Stadium, but I didn't think it would ever end. Home runs all over the place and on top of that a very warm day in the Bronx. After the game it was time to get Sandy on her way back to JFK for her flight back to Seattle. It was a quick trip for her, but she’s finally had the chance to see the Statue of Liberty. The rest of us took the “B” train to the 125th St. Station and transfer to the “A” train, arriving at Penn Station at 5:00PM. We had done a set up for our stay at the hotel when we got there this morning so all we needed to do was pick up the key, head up to the room and drop our stuff off and send this blog entry out. I’ll review the rest of the day when we return from Citi Field late tonight.
