Arriving in New York

Here are some pictures from the last day of the cruise when we docked in New Jersey with a fantastic view of New York City.

From the cruise ship, we took a Uber car to the Courtyard where we had left the car.

Then it was a 14 hour drive to home which went well with both of us sharing the driving time.

What a great cruise - seeing our old friends Vera & Jeff from New York and Barb & Tim from Washington - we had a blast with them.

It was also great seeing old friends in the casino and making new friends - this was just a fun trip and thanks to all who made it happen.

Thanks for following our journey.

Lady Liberty and the World Trade Center

We went under this bridge!
