NEW YORK CITY,  USA
From Genoa to Milano to New York City, Ron and I grew weary of dragging luggage all over creation.  I've decided, if we ever do this again, we need a couple of SHERPAS!!
It was a long flight to NJ, about 7 hours anyway. It felt good to be on board.  Even though the past two months had been amazing,  me and Ron were ready to be done.   Nancy was on the fence, while Debby was just getting warmed up!!  Ha Ha 😆😆.
   It felt even better to touch down on American soil in Newark, NJ.   We came through Immigration and Customs and showed our Passports for the last time.
   We managed to get our luggage on the next train to New York's Penn Station.  From there we loaded into a (hard to get) taxi to our rented apartment on West 47th Street.
   Our apartment was plain with an inconvient shortage of a few necessities. The floors were dirty and necessitate contacting the owner to come and clean.     The apartnent's layout was weird,  it was more linear than square.  Access was through two locked front doors and a  narrow,  steep staircase to the second floor.  The locked entry door opened into the kitchen the wrong way.  There was no room to squeeze between the open door and the refrigerator, so the door had to swing nearly 180 degrees to walk through, then swing it to 90 degrees in order to reach the light switch!  Then swing it back to 180 so those behind could enter. Whew!
The bathroom was at one end.  Next the kitchen, then a bedroom.  Next a living/dining room with futon couch, and then a side bedroom.  That necessitated walking through two sleeping rooms to get to the toilet.  But the price was good!   😆
