I flew into New York and jumped on the bus then the subway to take me to 14th and Broadway where I met Franzi for lunch. What a great treat to have lunch and then have her take me to the airport. I got to see even more of New York than I have on previous visits which I am sure will give me some great perspective as I visit the rest of Europe.

From New York it is off to JFK airport to board and Aer Lingus Airbus 330 headed to Dublin
