We took the plane for eight hours.I thought that there would be little personal screens in our seats but in fact the screens were above us and much bigger. During the flight I watched three films (in English of course); the first one I didn’t know how he was called but I really liked it since it was for my age, the second one was Nim’s island.I didn’t really enjoy it but I’m sure the girls would love it.The last one was the Chronicles of Spiderwick.This one was OK as it was a mixture of Harry Potter and Narnia.The hero of this film is the kid who played Charlie in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. When we got of the plane we took the airtrain a bit like the orly-val.We got of the airtrain at the Jamaica station where we took the subway and arrived at Lingsinton 59 avenue.From there we walked with all are luggage to the Jumeirah Essex House(which is a luxurious hotel). It took 3 hours from the time we touched the ground at JFK to when we arrived n our room We gathered all are baggage in the hotel room and later on visited the Apple shop. There were lots of people in the store but we managed to see the new Ipods and Macs. After that we took a taxi to go to a famous restaurant in New York called Blue Smoke but the place was crowded so we want to a very good Indian restaurant where I ate a chicken curry. We took another taxi to go back to the hotel where I slept soundly. In the morning we got up , took a shower and ate are breakfast at the hotel. After this awesome meal we rented bikes therefore we could take a breath in Central Park. We saw some restaurants, a chess and check house where you could play chess and cherckers all day long!, a merry go round and a complex with 32 tennis courts! Dad had a meeting with someone in a very tall building with more than 30 levels. After one hour and a half of important discussions we got back to the hotel Here are a couple of pictures we took of this first day. We will give you more news in the next few days.
