| The family of Rotary in the Big Easy |
Our final night in New Orleans we spent with Dick and Sue Garner - in the French Quarter at a wonderful small restaurant. Great company, great food and an opportunity to swap notes on our role as the respective RPICS for Zone 7b and 8. We have much we can do together to ensure our public image and awareness of Rotary is further promoted in our communities.
It is now Friday evening.

| In the Big Apple |
Jenny and I have now arrived in the 'BIG APPLE' after a rather long 33 hours! The AMTRAK journey was interesting you could say. It reminded me somewhat of the old Kiwi Express but the main differences were the southern accents and the fact that we didn't stop at Taihape for a pie and cuppa.

| All aboard Jenny |
We arrived in NY at 5pm- trundled our baggage up West 31st - crossed Park Ave, Broadway and Maddison Avenue and onto East 31st. To our right we glimpsed the Empire State and finally reached Hotel 31. A small but adequate accommodation for the next 3 days.
We arrived, showered and then ventured out for a meal - New York pizzas - what else!!
As we a little jaded we have decided 10:45 is a good time to retire and to be up early tomorrow to start our exploring.
