Hi Cindy

I have done both on a trip about 20 years ago but like you I still want to do both. Have you got a list yet of must sees in NY city?

BB

The reason I am re doing This tour and New York add on, is because I didn't have time last time to see all I wanted to.

I want to re visit and see what they have done re 9/11 memorial and museum. Last time it was just a peak at Central Park so I want to spend time there, perhaps a buggy ride or a guided walk. I have never been to Ellis Island so that's on my wish list to take in that part of the history. I have done a helicopter flight over and around the Statue of Liberty. I have seen a show in Broadway, but would like to do another, shopping, walk the Brooklyn bridge there's fantastic views from there, museums etc etc.

There is a great revolving restaurant that's worth visiting, amazing views.

I think we will all be very busy.

The official provider of tickets and tours to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island can be found at www.statuecruises.com. The boats depart from Battery Park which is not too far from the hotel. I booked a 10am ticket for the Crown access on Monday 6/10 of the add on as it will leave the rest of the day free. I think this will mean getting to the boat by 9am. From Julia's reply in the ask your editor section it appears that the city tour will be on Saturday morning and the optional cruise on Sunday morning.

Most of the Broadway shows are closed on Mondays but have a Sunday pm show. Not sure yet if I will pre book, might just take a chance with the TKTS booth.

I am sure the tour manager will have a few suggestions of what to do in our 'free time'. I want to keep my plans quite flexible as some sights may depend on the weather. I don't fancy Central Park in the rain or shopping in the sunshine!

BB

Thanks for that link I will have a look and perhaps book. Like you I won't book a show this end I will take a chance with the booth. I also am tryin to plan wet/dry weather plans so when I get up it's an either/or scenario. personally I am not a BIG shopper or tourist sovenier type of person, so not many hours will be spent shopping!! I would rather be looking at something!

Once again thanks

Cindy

See you tomorrow, I think this will be a great trip..
