We took the subway down to the 9/11 Museum to be there right when they opened at 9am. Unfortunately, there was some construction work, so we had to make an extra train change and they were all running behind schedule. We did end up making it on time, but we had to grab breakfast on […]
Month: June 2017
Central Park, R Lounge, and Phantom of the Opera
Our trip did not get off to the best start. There was some really bad weather all over the Midwest and East and I got a notification that our flight to Detroit was delayed. We only had a 50 minute layover, so I did not want to get stuck with a cascading delay that would […]
Park Hyatt New York
After arriving at LaGuardia, we took the subway to the hotel. I looked at traffic vs the subway, and it was basically the same, so we went the public transit route. You have to take a bus and then a subway train to get to downtown Manhattan from LaGuardia. I could see it would be […]
Introduction – New York Trip
The planning for this trip began about a month before. We had a companion pass on Delta and two free nights at any Hyatt that were expiring so we decided to take a long weekend to New York. It had been a while since either of us had been there, so it seemed like a […]
Final Day and Final Thoughts – Nevis Trip
Our transfer arrangements were delivered to the room the night before our departure. We woke up and relaxed a bit on the patio before heading to lunch. We had a late afternoon flight, so our transfer time was right at lunchtime. We decided to have a later, large breakfast to hopefully hold us through lunch. […]
Catamaran Snorkeling Excursion
Our tour today was at a much more reasonable 10am. We got up and headed to breakfast at the Neve Restaurant. They offer both a buffet option and a la carte choices. We went with the buffet which was quite extensive. There was a cold area with fruits and yogurts, a hot section with breakfast […]
Nevis Peak Hike
There was a bit of confusion about breakfast when we arrived as the free breakfast that was supposed to included was not in our reservation. A quick trip to reception with proof that breakfast is included in our reservation cleared up the issue. The lesson is to always get what you are entitled to in […]
Four Seasons Nevis
Upon arrival at the resort, we were escorted from the dock directly to our room by a check-in agent who provided an overview of the hotel and our room. The room was very elegant, and in a classic style. Definitely not the ultra-modern you find at other hotels but this was in line with what […]
Journey to Nevis
Our journey started with a drive to Chicago. We were flying out of O’Hare through Miami to St Kitts. Our first stop was at our parking location at the Loews Hotel O’Hare. We were actually staying at the Hilton O’Hare because of a great rate and for the convenience of being connected to the terminal. […]
Introduction – Nevis Trip
For a long Memorial Day vacation, we took a trip to the Four Seasons on Nevis. We spent 3 nights taking in the beauty of the island and enjoying wonderful weather. We were originally planning to spend 3 nights at the brand new Park Hyatt on St Kitts. Unfortunately, the hotel was not open in […]
