It was sad really it was our last day in New York.  Our last day with Lil and Es with only a few more days of holidays left and work beckoning just over the horizon.  It took a little bit to get moving after the night at the theatre and first thing we had to do was make sure we were packed and ready to go.  Once that was done we wandered into Manhattan once more meeting up with Es.

Lou did some last minute shopping for those little bits and pieces that people request before we headed into Little Italy for a leisurely lunch.  After lunch we just wandered around without much really on the agenda.  With rain threatening and our time almost up we decided to head back to Lil’s place.

Lil called a car service and we waved good bye and headed back to the airport to fly to Los Angeles.  The airport wasn’t a drama except the plane was delayed.  Of course.  Now this is where Lou’s Qantas Club membership came in handy since we could sit in the Lounge, somewhat more comfortable than wandering around in circles out in the general airport.  We got talking to a couple of other travellers who’s flights were delayed, different carriers, and time seemed to fly past.

Finally a couple of hours after we were meant to depart we finally left New York bound for Los Angeles.
