[posted from airport waiting for flight NY to Orlando]
Grant… Big sleep in after a midnight lights-out last night. Girls up and ready first and they disappeared to Times Sq (again!) to do over the shops. Us boys were a little slower, but we eventually got moving and found some pancakes for brunch at 11:45am. Us boys caught the subway back to Lower Manhattan to visit a music/electronics/computers/gadgets/hi-fi megastore, kinda-like JB HiFi. Tome bought a drum book and I got an additional charger for our collection of phones.
We met the girls back in Times Square and we revisited some shops looking at clothes but didn’t buy much. Bit of a lazy late afternoon, chilling in the apartment after some long, busy days. I went out and got McDonalds for tea and we ended the evening laying on our beds playing a family trivia game.
Bags are packed; only thing planned for tomorrow is to organize additional internet data, then head off to the airport around 11am for our afternoon flight to Orlando, Florida. Weather down there is a bit scary; hot and humid. Thongs weather!

Took Lucy to Zara on the corner of 42nd & 5th at Times Square (yes we were really there, even though Zac commented that we just THOUGHT we were there, given the long walk of the night before), the one that DOES have clothing for kids! Got her a pair of jeans ($30!!) and a shirt. Strolled over to Gap after that, it is a bit like Pumpkin Patch in the kids dept, but didn't make any purchases there.
As we walked past Toys r us we got completely sucked in by the sight of the ferris wheel giving people rides INSIDE the shop to go in and have a look. There were lots and lots of toys and new products to see, and lots of staff demonstrating the new products. Lucy had her fingernail decorated like an American flag and promptly purchased a kit to decorate her nails herself.
Got an ice cream and sat out on the red steps to watch the crowd moving through Times Square, and to watch the ever changing neon signs. The queue for discounted theatre tickets for the evening shows was enormous and we were glad not to be standing in it. There was plenty of entertainment for those waiting, with some people dressed in character for Priscilla, Queen of the Desert & Chicago prancing around.
Walked back to the hotel as Grant said and just chilled out in the hotel room for the evening.
Just about time to board the plane for Orlando to visit "The Happiest Place On Earth".......can't wait.
