Monday 2 December
We were all up bright an early to see a nice sunny, cold day. We said our goodbyes to Mark who was staying at home and left home just after 10am. It only takes about 15 minutes for us to reach Glasgow Airport, but there are roadworks just now that get very busy at peak times so I thought we'd better leave in good time just in case...nothing to do with being so excited I hadn't slept the night before Roads turned out to be fine and as we drove we joked that we might need to take our sun glasses with us as it was so bright
We parked at a long stay car park weve used before and caught the shuttle bus to the airport. We were there really early, about 10:45. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 12:50. Went through security and I was surprised to see Lewis' small backpack being put to the side to be searched. Turned out there was a Harry Potter wand in there......security were very nice but suggested that I put this item in hold luggage on the way back just in case we caused an alert in France
Flight left ahead of time and we relaxed on the flight which was full.
We landed about 25 minutes early, through passport control fine and our bag was waiting for us on the carousel. Walked through a door and there was a very nice lady from Ezyshuttle waiting for us with our name on a nice big board. Fantastic service once again. I cannot recommend them enough It was a beautiful day in Paris too, bright sunshine and a cool breeze. Roads were quiet and before we knew it we could see the Hotel New York in the distance. It felt like we'd only been here last week....
Check in was quick and the CM was lovely. She was a bit confused looking at our documents as these were all in Dutch as I'd booked using the Dutch website. I explained that I used that for a good discount and she laughed. She asked if we'd been before to HNY and I said wed been many times and always stay here. She passed me forms to complete as I wanted to leave my card details for the Easypay pass and then I heard her on the phone saying my name and 4 people. Then she surprised me by saying that as we were regular visitors we could enjoy breakfast at any time in the Empire State Club room on the 6th floor! A lovely bonus!
Our room was in Gramercy Park 3180.
Room was same as always and just what we wanted. View over to the bag check area and into a small garden area.
Our case had been collected from us as we'd entered the hotel and was magically delivered after only a few minutes in the room
Lots of Christmas trees inside the hotel lobby
And a lovely one just outside the hotel
