I suppose flying across the continent at night makes more sense from west to east. For example, our flight here left conveniently in the evening and arrived at 6:00 am. That meant by the time we got out of the airport, we were ready to go.We are at JFK now. It's early because we needed to check out of the YMCA at 11:00. We stuffed our suitcases in the office and had more time over in the famous borough. We'd not seen the progress on the World Trade Center site during this visit. One tiny tower is starting to peek above the other buildings in Lower Manhattan. What a shame seeing it on the day that the tallest tower in the world opens in Dubai. The US must stand aside and give up it's top-dog image of itself. That was such the last century. It was getting to be bitter cold again. I also had to find the "Flat Iron Building" too. It turns out it's at 23rd and Broadway / 5th. It's famous 'cause it was the first skyscraper in 1902.
Anyway, we won't get into Vancouver until after transit has stopped. We'll take an airport taxi to New Westminster.
