Kaoru NYC Visit, February 1, 2007

Kaoru, Paul, Russell on ferry to Liberty Island
Takashi, my Japanese brother (he spent our senior year of high school, '71-'72, with us) sent his daughter to the US for a visit in 2007.

We took her from Pittsburgh to Bloomsburg to see my mother, then on to New York City to visit my brother Russell and the city sights and even went skiing for a day outside of Scranton, PA at Montage Mountain

I burned some hotel travel points by getting free rooms for us at the Waldorf Astoria while in NYC.

Due to construction and renovations, we could not go higher than the top of the base.
