Well, we’re home again. It was a good vacation; other than visit MoMA we didn’t do much in the way of touristy sightseeing. We didn’t go to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State building, mainly because of time restrictions. We did get to visit the crater that used to be the World Trade Center, and it remains a sobering sight. The buildings to either side of the site still have their sides and top sections blown off, and are still under repair. The names of those who died, presumably both occupants and rescuers, are listed on the viewing fence around the area.
Other than that, we visited SoHo, which I had no idea was named for "South of Houston Street" — which it is. North of Houston Street is called NoHo. It was fun; I guess I didn’t know what to expect there, but it’s basically just a trendy shopping/living area.
All in all, New York city was a great place to visit. I’d visit again in a second.
US Airways, on the other hand, I cannot recommend quite so highly. They lost our bags in Philadelphia, but we are supposed to be getting these back today.
