Day 14 - the longest day EVER!

Well, after our day sightseeing again yesterday, we were picked up from our hotel by our transfer driver at 7.20pm. Looking out of the back window of the car, we could see the Freedom Tower shining in the dark above the rest of Manhattan island as we emerged from the tunnel into Queens - quite a fitting last view of Manhattan I think. 

Our flight home was delayed slightly, and we eventually took off 10.45pm. Setting our watched back to UK time meant it was then 3.45am Friday morning and we were determined to get some sleep. However, as the Cabin crew began to clear away our trays from our evening meal, the seatbelt lights came on & the Crew were asked to retake their seats as we were experiencing turbulence. Well, after 10 days of theme park thrill rides you'd think we were pretty used to being thrown around, but I've never experienced turbulence like this before - and it continued for the majority of the flight. However, thanks to the storms we flew through, we had quite a tail wind which meant we flew home in just over 6 hours. 

We eventually arrived home just after 4pm this afternoon after being awake since Thursday morning - think the jet lag will really hit us tomorrow!!
