Manhatten

We have arrived here at Manhatten, all three of us, all our luggage and only 'slightly' tired! Although Copenhagen airport was Easter packed with people we managed to make an unstressfull check-in, even leaving time for a nice cup of coffee with Lotte, who was so sweet to help us out to the airport. Thank you! We strolled around a little in the airport and made it out to the plane. It all seemed a little abstract for Sebastian, looking out on the airplanes, until he finally stood face to face with our vessel. Then he wanted to board strait away, and he was in the best of moods when we found our seats. In the check-in area he had seemed a little tired, and this would play fine into our little master-plan: to get him to nap on the way over - not least to'shorten' the 7 ½ hours of flight. But NO, Mr. Sebastian had no intensions WHAT SO EVER to lay down and relax/sleep. He was jumpy and playful for the whole trip! His hearing aid did not fit the airplane movie-system, and we were greatful that we took his little movie-screen with us on the plane. The batteries ran out at some point however (2½ movies), and we managed to read and play until we finally hit the ground in Newark.
 
He must have found the trip amazingly fascinating as he even made it through immigration, customs and luggage pickup until he finally fell asleep (Copenhagen time: 21:30) in the arms of Tue in the taxi driving us to our hotel on East 64th Street. 

We are well installed in a nice, quiet suite with everything we need. We went to the grocery store 'The Food Emporium' right around the corner and bought some fruit, milk, bread and cheese. So we will survive until tomorrow ;-) where we all hope to be a little more up and awake!
