We took an aiport shuttle to LAX, had a brief delay and uneventful flight to JFK. Our good friends from New Jersey, Jane and Dennis Fennessey, picked us up at the airport and delivered us to their home in Chatham. We joined more friends and companion world cruisers, Don and Marilyn Kredel from Phoenix and Dan and Barbara Christy from California. We had a wonderful evening of conversation, good food, and wine. Don, Dennis and Larry all worked together in the early days (1971...) and have remained close friends ever since.
The next morning we left Chatham, NJ by train for the big city...New York. Saturday was spent shopping on 5th avenue, eating pastrami at a deli and catching the broadway musical The Jersey Boys. The following pictures reflect the activities of our day including a billboard of the Jersey Boys, Penn station and Times Square. After the musical, we found our way to the Scaletta Restaurant on 77thst, an Italian restaurant for dinner where we were joined by Mike and Natalie De Maar.

Great Lor, you are really getting to be a full-fleged techy! Great shots.
We're having a wonderful time too, we're staying in a fabulous condo owned by a country western singer on the Gulf of Mexico.
Give our best to the Fennessys, Kradels and DeMaars.
Love to you both,
Chrissy xx
Hi Dad and Ruthanne, Have such a blast! So fun to hear the energy and excitement in your voice this morning Dad! I can't wait to hear the next update. We will be thinking of you all! Love, Tina
We are so glad you could spend a couple of days with on your way to this adventure. It was great fun to see you of at the ship. Keep in touch and God bless.
Bon Voyage! Cheers to you and the ship sailing. Thanks for the call, love you.
Have a great trip. Saw your ship on TV last night. Didn't see you boarding but they had the other 1000's of people.
Take care.

Sounds like a great adventure. Wasn't Jersey Boys a blast...we saw it while they were in Seattle before Christmas. Looking forward to your next update.Have fun!

Hey, you've really got the hang of it! Pics are great and sounds like you've got a wonderful start to your trip. Can't wait to hear about your first night on the ship with fireworks, etc. etc. Be safe - no taking evening walks along the deck! Love you... d
The Seattle Times printed a picture of your ship yesterday morning, with fireworks overall. It reported the once-in-a-lifetime event - the Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth 2, and the new Queen Victoria, all in the waters off lower Manhattan at the same time! I'll save the picture for you.
Love, Mother June.
Hi, when is it your turn to row.
