We tried to wake up early today, but weren’t quite able to. We started moving around at 9:00 again. We were getting very good at maneuvering the subways to the Statue. We still couldn’t go up into the Statue, but we did go to Liberty Island today. The weather wasn’t quite as clear today, but we still got some pretty pictures of Lady Liberty.

After we got back to shore, we went to a Subway (sandwich shop) for lunch. Our only other “must see” for the day was the Empire State Building. It wasn’t too busy so we got up and down fairly quickly. We had to get to the airport, so we caught the subway to Jamaica again and back to the hotel. The guy driving the shuttle was kind enough to wait for us to grab our bags from the luggage room then take up right back to the airport. We were there early enough that they asked us if we might be willing to give up our seats in return for 2 business class seats on the flight that leaves 1 hour later. We said yes – they didn’t need us in the end, but it was a good possibility. We got some dinner, visited the shops, and got a massage before time to get on the plane. Our plane left at 11:30 that night.
