Day 6 Tuesday 25th March
Early rise today for everyone all up at 6am, breakfast in room, last minute packing then off downstairs with luggage, Carmel Limo are waiting 10 mins early, driver helps load luggage which has increased by one extra bag, check out and were off, we arrive at JFK within 25mins, pay driver and we head for check-in, use the Jet Blue self service kiosk and its pretty easy, check-in our luggage and head through security, we now have just under 3 hours to kill, kids get extra breakfast and I use the free internet to finish off the NY trip reports, we leave on time at 11am and Im amazed at the quality of Jet Blue 36 inches leg room, on demand TV and music, snacks are available along with soft drinks, tea and coffee all incl in price, we arrive on time and after collecting our luggage, *********** transport us to Cypress Point with a grocery stop at Publix to buy the essentials (beer, wine etc), check-in at Cypress Point easily, but we are in phase 2 block D room 57A with our luggage a bit of struggle looks likely, but reception get security to transport us and luggage to our room, the security guy refuses a tip for his time, the suite looks great very impressive, a few things are broken, but maintenance are around within 10mins and fix those things within half an hour,
Some pics of suite
DW unpacks while I pour myself a glass of wine, I call Gregory at *********** to advise him of our block number for future pick ups, to save us having to walk to reception for a pick up, he advises me that our driver will be 10 mins late because of traffic tonight, I also call Lynn (Loadsapixidust) and leave a message for her, we all get ready for the game its Magic vs. Spurs tonight, we head down for our pick up, after 5 mins I walk over to reception in case the driver has waited there, but still no show after 10 mins he shows up and apologizes for being so late, we drive over to the other block top pick up the family, Gregory also calls to apologize and knocks a little of the price by way of saying sorry, once on our way traffic is pretty heavy, the driver takes a few side roads and we get to the game with 20 mins to spare, I pick up the tix and next weeks tix as well, I also pick up our Wrestlemania tix as well after a thorough ID check that is, we get some food from the various stands then get our seats, the game goes well and at half time I buy the kids a couple of swingman jerseys with number plus name for bargain price of $40 each, the Magic certainly make more use of the glitz and glam a lot more than the Knicks, their mascot Stuff is very funny and outrageous
Some pics
After half time Magic throw it all away with so many fouls committed and the final score is Magic 97 Spurs 107, it was a good night even although Magic lost, our driver Carlos was waiting for us, and it was off home, we where back by 10:15pm, I checked to see if Lynn had returned our call, but looked like either I got wrong room or they where still out, kids watched TV and I relaxed on balcony with a glass of wine, DW joined me after putting on a washing, before heading to bed
