Greetings from the Big Apple!
5:30am saw us at Palm Beach International Airport ready to begin this adventure. The students were excited about traveling and were wide awake and ready to go!
Some were more awake than others!
By 6:10am, we were through security and in line at the Starbucks for our morning caffeine fix. Boarding began at 6:30am, and we took off shortly after 7am.
While in flight, students passed the time in different ways. Some were practicing their music on their iPods . . .
. . . while others tried to recover from the early morning.
We landed at about 10am in Newark, then reclaimed our bags and boarded a bus for Manhattan. Everyone was happy to be back on the ground!
Since we arrived so early in the morning, our rooms were not ready for us. We placed our luggage in the one room that was ready, then headed off to begin exploring the city. The first stop was a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Rockefeller Center. After lunch, we stopped for a quick group picture.
We then headed to the tallest building in New York, the Empire State Building. We saw amazing views of New York from 86 floors up.
Along the way, we were able to meet one of the most famous “residents” of the Empire State Building.
Right now, the students are resting and preparing to see a show this evening. We will be watching The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Stay tuned for more updates!
