A short walk
The first day I just arrived, checked in and walked around the hotel a bit.
9/11 Memorial
I took a walk around the memorial, and a visit to the 9/11 museum itself was scheduled for November 6.
View from the room
The view from the 22nd floor is great. I was actually expecting the room to be on the lower floors and the view would not be as good.
Since the flight took 9 hours with 6 time zone changes + an hour and a half drive from the airport, I decided to save my energy. In addition, I gradually started to feel sleepy, but I had to endure at least until 9pm so that the jetlag would not be so strong the next day.
I popped into McDonald’s (I’m all about healthy living exclusively, but how could I not go there in NYC – please forgive me 😆) and the grocery store before returning, and that was the end of the day.
