Norfolk, Virginia / New York City Trip – April, 2011

Sat 16^th April

Our day began early with a taxi to Norwich Airport around 5AM.

We met Bruce and Sheila there and negotiated the check-in, security successfully before the short flight to Schipol, Amsterdam.

Had a wander round Schipol, a coffee and bite to eat. Bruce had a fall on some shallow steps! The flight to JFK – NY left on time – quite comfy seats on delta flight.

We arrived at JFK at 13.25 – a bumpy landing in windy conditions.

Then we heard about tornadoes sweeping up the east coast – our flight to Norfolk was delayed, and then cancelled.

Luckily we had an experienced travelled with us – Nick and he knew what to do and managed to find us a room in a hotel on the airport periphery!!

We made our way there in the rain and wind – nearly lost Nick (when he went to ring for the shuttle to the hotel) at one point, but made it to the Hotel and had a good sleep. Rain and wind lashed against the windows, but the worst of the storm had died in the morning.
