Off to New York City

Southwest plane

We headed to New York City today via Southwest Airlines.  We scored seats in the exit row, with extra leg room and a view of the wing.

LaGuardia airport was crazy-busy, as usual.

The cab ride into Manhattan, however, was relatively quick and painless.

Our destination, the Hilton New York Fashion District.

The lobby is decorated in the fashion/garment theme.  Notice the art — made of spools of thread. The front desk staff at the Hilton Fashion District are friendly, funny and efficient.

A surprise at check-in — Mr. Jones learns he’s been chosen as the “guest of the day.”  This designation means 10,000 bonus Hilton Honors points.  And  a bottle of wine in our room.

A look at the view out the window of room 2010.

New York City, here we come.
