Final NYC moments in point form

*9:00am - Drag the luggage into the luggage room

*9:15am - Avoid Tick Tock, so we head to Cafe 32 for coffee

*9:45am - I spot a homeless guy begging on the streets with a cup in his hand. I throw a few quaters in to get rid of the change when I get screamed out my someone stating that the homeless guy had high quality headphones that we cant afford

*10am - Shopping spree starts. Random shirts are brought

*12:00pm - Starbucks coffee break is needed. Sitting at Starbucks we spot a porn DVD shop

*12:45pm - We head into the porn DVD shop, not for the porn but for the normal DVD's, only to walk out empty handed

*1:00pm - Spot another Porn DVD shop to enter. We discover heaps of TV series boxsets. I find ELLEN! Of course I buy the Ellen boxset after causing a huge fuss whether I should buy season one or two or both. Hence I want the boxset with the annoying chick. Hi Ellen.....

* 1:30pm - We head to Broadway for lunch. We enter Roxy's - famous for their sandwiches. We decide to order a sandwich to share when the waiter claims we either pay $3.50 extra to share or we purchase a bowl of fries for $3.50. We go with the fries.

* 2:00pm - The tip problem. We pay the bill and leave a $2 tip. The waiter picks up the money and complains that its a standard rate of 15% of the total bill and we havent left enough of a tip.

*2:30pm - We enter a store where I spot a red NY jacket that I want. We bargain with the guy and I decide not to buy it as I have no luggage room. The guy keeps harrassing me to buy the jacket when I get escorted out of the store.

*2:40pm - I spot the same red NY jacket next door in another shop for a cheaper price than my bargained price. No I dont buy it.

* 3pm - Back to the New Yorker to collect luggage. Only to discover 6 inconsiderate pricks trying to check in their back packs. When the hotel guy asked them for their room number, they didnt have one. They werent even staying at the hotel but wanted to check in their bags. What the hell?

* 4pm - The hotel private car arrives and I jump in with the luggage. We arrive at the airport and I collect my bags. This is when the driver starts screaming and yelling. I start to panic as I have no idea whats happening. His complaining that I didn't tip him. I thought the payment was all taken care of and included the tip. I pull out a tip and give it to him to shut him up.

*5pm - Check in at the counter to realise that there's a missing seat. Someone doesnt have a seat.

*5:30pm - Hitting maccas at the airport, we manage to score ALOT of ketchep.

*5:45pm - Last minute shopping at the airport. I'm determined to use a travellers cheque to cash in some money. I end up buying a NY Shirt

*6pm - Arrive to the departure lounge still waiting for a seat number only to be told that they wont be giving out seat numbers 20 minutes prior to boarding.

*6:30pm - A sudden announcement comes over the PA system stating that the flight is over booked and they need people to volunteer to take the next flight. The incentive you recieve a free return local trip for free.

*7:30pm - The waiting continued until enough seats were given up on the plane before boarding started

*8pm - We board the plane and the next 6 hours are blurred
