We just finished up a 4 night stay in Florida, NY, which is about one hour from New York City. On Thursday we drove the Smart Car to NYC. We planned on parking it and going to China Town to buy some $50 Louis Vitton purses and scarfs. Because parking was about $30, and the places we wanted to see were not close to each other, we just drove around in the city. At one point I slowed down in China Town and Nan jumped out to buy some scarfs. In the 15 minutes it took me to go around the block she was able to complete the transaction. We also drove by ground zero, Rockefeller Center, and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Roxy and I never got out of the car. This is the one time I have been happy with the Smart Car. Being that small it was easy to zip around in tight spaces.
On Friday Nan and I left Roxy in the trailer and caught to ferry to Ellis Island. We looked around there a couple hours and then took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. We were running short on time so we didn’t get off the ferry at the statue. It was about 4:00 when we started our drive back, so we hit some rush hour traffic in Jersey which was interesting.
Saturday we drove out to the Orange County Choppers showroom. It’s from the American Choppers show on TLC. There were several custom made themed bikes in the showroom, including a 9/11 bike and a Vietnam MIA bike. Didn’t see anyone from the show though.
Today (Sunday) we drove to a Gettysburg, PA campground. We’ll look around the town in the next couple of days. We did meet a guy here that said he planned to live in his RV full-time around 3 years, and so far he’s done it 15 years.
