At JFK right next to the baggage claim is a Ground Transport desk where I was informed that I could try the subway $7, a shuttle $18.50 or buses or cabs. Seeing as my bag was a tonne, decided to go the door to door option and besides, what is $18.50 plus tip ...?

Jessica unfortunately missed the desk and tried her luck with a cab - but was talked into getting some other kind of cab than yellow and when she was finally deposited her it cost her around $100.

Also into Bloomingdales - any person who has read American teenage girl novels knows of this store. Betsey Johnson earrings were found there and very cute. In another store found EOS watches which were shaped like cassette tapes.

We tried out the subway, but I was bamboozled and although we managed to get one stop to Times Square - I couldn't figure out where to change to get to Penn Station which is our stop. So we got out and walked.
Found out the Borders free wifi is as slow as ...
