This trip was a group tour with a total of 36
travelers.
We left 5 days early to visit relatives and friends on Long Island
and visit New York City. We flew from Tucson to LaGuardia
Airport to be picked up by my cousin and brother.
We used the Long Island Railroad to get to Manhattan. We
visited Ground Zero and walked around lower Manhattan. We then
used the subway to travel to the extreme northern tip of Manhattan to
visit the Cloisters. It was closed on Sunday so we came back the
next day and really enjoyed the fall foliage in the park and on the
New Jersey shore just above the George Washington Bridge. The
Cloisters was fantastic. Then we used the local bus and subway
again to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some of the
Egyptian artifacts reminded us of our trip to that country.
Our departure to Croatia was on Lufthansa Airlines from JFK Airport
left around 9:30 p.m. for a 7 hour flight to Frankfurt. We
changed aircraft for the final leg to Zagreb. We had
some turbulence about one hour out of JFK and again about one
hour before landing in Frankfurt. Otherwise
we had a great flight. Our seats on the Boeing 747 were in row 55, which had only 2 seats
with extra space to the side of the seat by the bulkhead.
We had the same seats on the return flight.
Our adventure starts in Zagreb
