Luckily Delta did return our bags that night, having them delivered to our hotel, but it gave us a scare!

This was our second visit to NYC (read about the first visit here) and we wasted no time in seeing all the sights – Grand Central Station, the UN, Central Park, Chinatown, Little Italy, we saw it all! One of my very favourites was the Empire State Building. The view was spectacular, and we went up just before dusk and stayed up there to watch the sunset and then all the twinkly lights once it got dark. It was beautiful!
