今日はいよいよNYに向けて出発
6時にはホテルを後にバスで空港へ向かう
We are going to leave here to N.Y. today.
We moved to the air port by bus at 6:00 in the morning.
朝食抜きには嬉し〜1回目の機内食
This was the first in-flight meal today.
2回目の機内食
妹の食べた、チャプチェ
These were our second in-flight meal.
This was a Korean meal calls Japchae which my sister ate.
私のはアメリカって感じの卵とポテトとベーコン
This was mine. It was an American style meal.
いよいよJFK空港に降り立ちます
The air plane was going to ready to a land at the JFK.
空港からはシャトルタクシーでホテルへ
無事に予約できたもののウロウロしすぎて運転手に会えず
その後、受付のお姉さんには無下にされ｢とにかく待て｣の一点張り
流石に気の長い日本人私も1時間待ったらムカ〜〜っときて
抗議したりなどなどして空港到着から2時間後にやっと空港を脱出
ホテルに着いたら疲れ切っちゃいました
We took an airport shuttle taxi to hotel but we missed our shuttle and we waited nearly 2hours in the air port.
We did reservation O.K. but we hadn’t to move there but we left there only 10minutes.
I asked gently many receptionists so many times after meeting time but they said “Just wait there.” every times.
I caught new receptionist and explained us then she took new reservation soon. We spent 1 hour on that time.
The JFK is huge air port and there are so many terminals in there. The shuttle taxi picks up some customers all terminals then we took another hour to left the JFK.
Anyway we arrived at our hotel safety.
今回ホテルはセントラルパークに近いホテルソールズベリー
ネットで値段の割に3星だったホテルです
We stayed at the Salisbury Hotel which is located very near the central park.
We searched this hotel on internet and this was quite reasonable, good values and 3 stars.
このキングサイズのベット2つに
Look! We had 2 king sized beds,
簡単なキッチン
a simple kitchen,
こじゃれたバスルーム
a sweet classic bathroom,
長期滞在者が多い土地柄、大きなクローゼットが2つ
and 2 big closets with an iron.
それで、1泊 税込約15,000円/1室
Place was about 15000Yen for par night with tax.
ホテルを調べてる時に★はいっぱいついて、コメントも良かったけど安かったのですごく心配だった
もちろん、古いけどだからこそニューヨーク感、満載な味があって大満足のホテルでした
もし又来ることがあればここに泊まりたいな〜
ちなみに、出発直前に空き室検索したところ、値段は倍になっていました!!
This was very old hotel but I could feel this is it! We did very comfortable to stay and we love to stay here again.
夜の街(5番街)
煙突から出る地下の蒸気もニューヨークって気分になります
This is the fifth avenue from our street at night.
この日、15日から滞在中の友達と息子ちゃん昇君とどうにか合流でき、この日、観てきたミュージカル｢スパイダーマン｣や昨日行った自由の女神の話などしながら夕食を取りあっという間に時間が過ぎて行きました
ちなみにこの日の夕食は、私たちはホテル前の24Hのお店で買った電子レンジで作る日清のインスタント麺
日本にないフレーバーで結構イケました
This day, we were going to meet our friend and her son who stayed the same hotel from 15th and they went to the musical of Spider-Man in this afternoon matinee.
I and my sister had deep sleep after arrived hotel and also my friend and son had sleep after musical.
We couldn’t meet soon but we both already bought dinner and some foods when we met, so we really know well.
At last, we spent lovely time in our first night in N.Y.
By the way I and my sister ate precooked noodles by Nissin. We never sew those flavors in Japan and they were tasty.

I watched a movie of night museum 2 on our return flight.
But story of the night museum 2 was almost about the Smithsonian museum.
これは特別展示の恐竜展
恐竜の心臓や内臓などの様子がモニターに映し出され、まるで本当に恐竜が呼吸しているような体感ができます

朝、一足遅く昇君にさよならを言えず、さみしくホテルで朝食
昨日、教えてもらったルートで自由の女神へ
地下鉄も無事に乗り換えできフェリー乗り場へ
言われていたけど想像していた以上に乗るまでにセキュリティーのチェックなどなどで待つ事、2時間近く
We just missed to say good-bye to them and took hotel breakfast with sad.
We went to the statue of Liberty today.
My friend taught us how to get there then we could take underground easily but we had wait nearly 2hours for buying tickets and hard security before to get ferry.
やっと、フェリーに乗り込みです

We were here!
It is real of the Statue of Liberty.
しかし昨日とうって変わって本日は暑い!

お昼はここで、お寿司を買ってみました
アボカドとサーモンの組み合わせがおいしかった
ご飯はもっとお酢が効いてもいいかも
We bought N.Y. style “Sushi” for lunch.
These sushi roll with avocado and summon were nice but I like rice much vinegary.
中にはキッチン雑貨屋さん、パン屋、食堂などなどいろいろなお店が入っていて1つ1つ見ているだけでも楽しめます
There are kitchen good shop, bakery, some restaurants and many small shops in the market.
いったん、ホテルに帰って本日は4時からMOMAが無料デーなのでそれに行ってみることに
The MOMA was free day at 4:00, today.
4時になったらさっさと入れるかと思いきや長蛇の列に並んで無料チケットをもらわなくてはいけませんでした
あまりの長蛇の列に｢全員もらえるの？？？｣と不安でしたが、みんなもらえるみたいでした
We thought there were open free gate at 4:00 but we had to stand in long queue for get free ticket. We worried about get ticket or not because it was so long queue and didn’t move.
これは日本の方の作品、漢字で動物を表現(?) 漢字を崩すと動物の形になるようです
This is a Japanese artist’s art.
これを始め下の階は現代美術が主流、ピカソなどの絵画は上層階
昼間も歩いているので一番見たいところに着く頃にはヘトヘト
All paintings were on the upper floor.
Our legs were limit to walk.
MOMAと言えばこれ？ってくらいガイドブックに載っている
This painting has become a byword for the MOMA.
モネもいっぱいありました
There are so many Monet paintings.
あんまりかわいかったので
This tiger was so sweet.
疲れたので帰ろうと思ったらすごい雷と雨
ホテルまでは歩いて10分くらいだけど躊躇してしまうほどの大雨
1時間くらい雨待ちをしましたが止みそうにないので帰ることに
Outside was a terrific thunderstorm when we went out.
We stayed another hour but there was still heavy rain.
寒いしホテル近くのスーパーで大きなミートボールスパゲッティーを買って帰りました
We were so cold and got the spaghetti with big meatballs in tomato sauce for dinner at the supermarket near our hotel.
