The last push

We are in JFK airport about to fly to Auckland. Managed to get all six bags close or up to our 32kg limit. Jo will blame the fact I bought things like a compressed air operated hydraulic pump at the last bin store for putting up the weight which I can’t deny! But it was a bargain!

We drove through Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut before getting into New York City.

Our last Canadian meal at Costco, poutine! Cheese curds and gravy over fries, yum!
Jo needed milk in the middle of nowhere in Maine, a “grocery store” that sells milk, alcohol and  can inspect your game?
The elusive Captain crunch, Charlie’s favorite in Seattle we held off to the end before indulging, super sized of course! Looking forward to a detox from high fructose corn sugar.
Our campsite outside of Arcadia National Park, Maine. Our last N. Park.
All….most of us really enjoyed the beehive walk/climb up the granite cliffs in Arcadia.
Been a while since we had Sam’s club pizza
As we came south in New England, it became increasingly difficult to find places to stay. Even parking is difficult in a 30 foot RV. We ended up staying in a few interstate rest areas.
A little noisy sometimes but it was a park!
Every time I said we were heading to New York City the usual response was “you’re not going to drive in there are you?” Of course I took that as a challenge! I talked to a guy from Manhattan from a Facebook group and he told me all the ins and outs of driving in NYC. We drove into Manhattan and stayed in a wonderful part with a park next it for 3 nights. Drove up and out down Broadway on the way out to cross into Brooklyn for the next three nights.
This was our park for 3 nights on the upper west side of Manhattan. About 10mins walk to central park and the museum of natural History and 5mins to the subway.

Natural History museum, we watched the night at the museum the night before. I will finish this later, we’re boarding!
