Visiting a great city is a wonderful thing. The sights and unique treasures of each are always such a pleasure to discover. But getting there is so often a stressful chore. From a far-flung airport a zoom-n-creep cab ride plunks you down... disoriented... somewhere in an urban canyon. Are you sure this is my hotel?
Sailing into NYC will go down as one of the best things I've ever done. I was a little nervous about dealing with all the ship traffic, but it turned out to be quite manageable. We thought of all the years of immigrants coming in, soldiers shipping out, the great cruise ships, and then, of course, liberty. Dodging the Staten Island Ferry, we passed Ellis Island and turned our attention on Manhattan. Battery Park, Wall St and ground zero greeted us first, and we were amazed that it was still quite a distance up the Hudson to get to our mooring at the 79th St Boat Basin.
