Lets try again shall we....
It just occurred to me that nothing very interesting has been posted yet....
lets sort that out, shall we?
On Sept the 1st I got on a coach and headed down to Gatwick, got on a big metal birdy and ended up 7.5 hrs later in Newark Int. Airport. in new jersey- Imagine Swansea, just bigger-lots bigger.
The transfer to my hotel - In midtown Manhattan (OOOOOOOO!!!!!! fancy!!!!!) took about 50min. And no, it wasn't a yellow cab. It was some sort of people carrier thing with really weird seat belts. The Driver- Hector, was a taciturn and quiet sort, polite enough but only interested in getting these god damn tourists out of his vehicle.
Oh, If you have never flown further than Ibiza or Greece, the flight to new york is a killer. but anyway......
The Hotel looked great, Two sets of revolving doors, marble foyer, polished brass and dark wood. Several Uniformed staff scurrying about on various hotel related missions.
And then, my first experience of American arrogance.
The Desk clerk guy- probably a day manager- what a total, snooty, up his own arse, Jerk.!!!!!!!!
He made the process of checking in, a truly unforgettable experience. He huffed, he puffed. His answers to questions clipped and disinterested. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to grab him by his silk tie and jerk his attitude filled face, downward into the reception desk. I was tired and a little irritable and the jumped up little sod just rubbed me the wrong way.
will continue this later......time to go to pay the bills. :(
