On Monday, June 16th, Fred and I flew to Toronto, rented a car and headed to Waterloo for a visit with Regan, Jeff and Mason. We spent a very comfortable two days with the family and thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with Mason. Both Jeff and Regan took time off work to be with us and we appreciated that very much.
Our Wednesday flight to New York was at 11:15 am and to make things easier for us we left Waterloo at 7:15. Thank goodness we left early as we got caught in a major traffic jam and made it to the airport with not much time to spare. We had to jump off the 401 and travel the back roads through Brampton to get away from the backlog of cars.
The flight to New York was comfortable and pretty much on time. We landed in La Guardia and were not prepared for the small and cramped airport. I guess we assumed any airport handling that many people would be big and modern.
Our first impressions of New York were formed from the back seat of a taxi - it is big, crowded, dirty and extremely busy. We were delayed getting into our room so we didn't do much other than get our bearings around our hotel.

I found your website in Google looking for information about the Athletic Club in San Carlos.
I am Mexican from Hermosillo now living in San Carlos, I read all your entries about San Carlos an I really liked the way you expressed about México and San Carlos, is nice to know that you had a real good time visiting the beautiful beaches here and you write about your experience. You can tell the difference between someone who travels and knows about other cultures and someone who does not, it really changes the way you think. Well that's it. Nice blog, keep the good work. Greetings.
