After the show ended we walked about 5 blocks to Times Square. At 9.30 pm in about \u2013 6 degrees with an icy wind blowing, Tine Square was buzzing! This is when you see why NY is known as the city that never sleeps! (We were freezing as we didn\u2019t have our kappies with us as we were trying to have decent hairdo\u2019s for the theatre, and beanies make my hair flat and Willians take off!) Vanity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe walked back to our hotel, picking up some pizza for a late supper \u2013 all food outlets are open and busy at this time of a weeknight! By this stage, we were both frozen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today was going to be our last full day in New York. We woke up this morning, opened our blinds, and it was snowing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe ventured out \u2013 and walked to the subway with snowflakes falling on us. Wonderful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We caught the subway downtown and walked to board the ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. (Many ferries take you past the statue, but only this one dock at the island. By now it was snowing harder. But nothing deters us. We sat on the top deck of the ferry in the snow (having wiped the snow off our bench to sit down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statue is huge! When you stand next to it you realize the magnitude of it. I think it is 67m in height! And to think it was built in France and shipped across the Atlantic in sections in the late 1800s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst we were walking around the museum on the island, William received notification that due to the storm due to hit NY late on Fri, our flight to Miami on Saturday morning had been cancelled! However, they would rebook us on another flight\u2026\u2026on Sunday! We have our first day at Disney World booked on Sunday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to cut a long story short we hot-footed it back to our hotel. William changed our flights to today at 16.10. We packed, checked out, hailed a yellow cab (yip we did it) and arrived at LA Guardia Airport set for Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am typing this blog on our flight to Miami. Thus far we have not been able to change our car hire from tomorrow until today, and we don\u2019t have anywhere to sleep tonight, but we will get it all sorted when we land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The silver lining is that we may now have time to drive to Key West which we weren\u2019t going to be able to do tomorrow before we head up to Orlando. Clearly, lots of other people had the same idea as we did, based on the chapter around us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I have waffled enough\u2026.my apologies if I bored you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night we went to the New Amsterdam Theatre to see Aladdin. It was spectacular! From the theatre d\u00e9cor to the props and scenery, from the acting to the singing\u2026..we enjoyed every minute. We managed to get tickets in the front row of the mezzanine level. After the show ended we walked about 5 blocks<\/p>\n
