We didn't managed to buy the Statue of Liberty crown as the souvenir when we
were in NewYork.

Bought some foam paper to produce the "home made" Liberty Crown. The kids
like it very much since half of the effort is come from them.

Summer East coast Trip - New York

I will reassume writing blog.. let see... will start with the summer east coast trip this year. This is the very excited trip and this is the first trans-continental flight from west coast to east coast. Due to the incident happen in last trip (Vegas trip) and everyone is worried about H1N1 we are extra careful this time. We make sure we have enough rest before we on board.On 12th Aug night, we took the Jet blue flight from PDX to JFK terminal 5.

It's a new terminal which cater for the Jet Blue. The airport is quite clean. We took the AirTrain to rental car center. It was not a very good experience as we waited almost 1 hour before we got our rental car. We even spotted a mosque near the airport.

We decided to take our breakfast at Chinatown in Queens (Flushing) Flushing is a very interesting city. It's just like Petaling street in KL, I didn;t feel like I am in US when I entered downtown Flushing. Initially we plan to "ta pao" Peking Duck bun, but it only available at lunch time. So, we got some DimSum , Soya bean and Tea. The food here is really cheap and delicious.

We park our car at hotel (with 24USD per day.. yes.. parking is not free) and took the subway to NYC.

UN is sort of our first tourist spot in New York. There're a humanitary exibition there. JingKai and JingJie is having fun to make some drawing on the big "peace" Poster.

We have our dinner in a Malaysian restaurant in Little Italy. The food was great especially the roti canai, Beef Rendang and 滑蛋河。Met a friend who lost contact for more than 10 years.

Upon checking in the hotel, felt that this is the best hotel we have even stay on our road trip. It's Manhattan view with corner glass window.
