Since we returned to the hotel so late, we took advantage of our late departure by sleeping in a bit. The hotel check-out time was 12:00pm, so many slept in until 11:00am, then made sure that all of their belongings were packed.
At 12:00pm, everyone met in the lobby with their luggage, which the bell staff placed into storage so that we could experience just one more New York moment. A trip to New York is not complete until you experience New York-style pizza in New York. Ray's Pizza was just down the street from the hotel, so the group headed there to grab a quick bite before leaving for the airport.
After getting lunch, we headed back to the hotel to meet our bus for the airport. We left Manhattan for Newark Airport about 1:00pm.
Coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel, we caught some of the last few views of Midtown Manhattan for this trip.
Upon arrival at Newark, we found that we had already been checked in for our flight, so all we had to do was to show our photo IDs, hand over our checked luggage, and clear security. Passenger volume at the airport was surprisingly light, so much so that the entire group had cleared security before 2:00pm.
The kids explored the various shops and eateries in the secure portion of the airport, then we boarded our return flight to West Palm Beach at 3:30pm. The flight was uneventful, and we arrived home at approximately 7:00pm tired but fulfilled.
