"It's a beautiful day to fly across the country!" was the first thing Roxann said this morning. We arrived at the airport at 7am, and being a Wednesday morning, the airport wasn't busy at all. The lines for security were short and fast, and the plane left right on time. (I found out later that apparently the Salt Lake City airport is the most on time airport in the world)
This is the fantastic view from the airplane window. Although you can't see it, we flew right over my house!
The flight was great with hardly any turbulance. There were tv's in the headrests which made for a more enjoyable 4 hour flight.
We arrived at the airport at 3 in the afternoon, a half hour early, but we sat on the tarmac for 40 minutes waiting for 'the people movers'. Once at the terminal, we were picked up in a fancy black Denali. The driver was way nice and told us everything we needed to know about New York. On our drive to the hotel we drove past a cemetary that was absolutely PACKED with headstones. It was insane how full it was! There's absolutely no way they could fit that many bodies that close together. (I tried to get a picture of it, but of course it didn't work while we were driving.)
We also drove past the towers seen in "Men and Black". I didn't even know that was filmed in New York, but here's a picture.
Our hotel is located on 32nd Street/Korea Way; and it's definitely Korean. It almost feels as though we're in a different country. Every sign is in Korean with English subtitles; most of the people are even Korean!
Above is just the view from our hotel window. Woo! And below is just some apartments we walked passed that were colorful. I'm SO excited to be here :)
This is a picture of my first experience in a New York Subway. This picture pretty accurately portrays the musty feelin inside the subway.
Brooklyn style pizza in Brooklyn!
