Last day with Debbie

Woke up 8 and went for breakfast at 8.45 decided to have the summer fruit and Greek yoghurt again as that was my favourite. Posted my postcard at hotel to Mum and Dad to thank them for making my trip to New York able to be enjoyable. Left hotel at 9.30 even though didn't have to check out til later but didn't want to spend my last day in hotel. First stop was to find the Ghostbusters fire station 'Hook & ladder' and is actually a functioning fire station. If look through the door can actually see the sign from Ghostbusters and brings abit off nostalgia. Walk past Ground Zero site and stop at the museum look round the gift shop but decided against doing museum. On to century 21 buy last things got Clairns eye cream for me and got Christmas presents for Sharon and Sarah. Look in Nine West but still didn't have the gold scrappy shoes which I liked. We then looked round the national museum of American Indians next to bowling green was free was quite interesting. Next get subway to grand central as I really wanted to use the subway even though no difference to London Underground. Get off Grand Central and walk to Madison Avenue 44nd to Nine West luckily had the shoes I wanted in my size. But I ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes as if get 2 you get the 2nd one half price so got a pair of flats aswell. Then lunch McDonalds couldn't believe how many different varieties of come and actually get to do yourself. Back to hotel just before 3 pack new things in suitcase which all fit in but I did cone with near empty case. Get yellow cab to airport was a lot of traffic so took over an hour to get there which was still plenty of time. At least going to airport was a flat rate only $60 so a lot cheaper than when we arrived. I got checked in very quickly even got a window seat and was very impressed my case only weighed 15kg. By the time I had checked Debbie still queuing so went to join and her case was 25kg so over weight but was surprised didn't have to pay excess. Once checked go through security and have to go through body scanner. Then look round shops but only bought sweets as shops expensive then we had food pretzel hot dog was ok but think prefer separately. Sit and chat with Debbie for a while then thought best go to my gate, can't believe last time will see Debbie for a while. But at least we had a good time in New York and Debbie glad that I decided to come with her. Once at gate didn't have to wait long til started boarding.
