New York and Long Island 2004

Claire and I first went to the US together in March 2004 for her 50th birthday and stayed only for a week. 

We packed a few trips in. We stayed with her cousin George in Speonk, Long Island. 

The pictures in the album are out of order for some reason as they were taken (mostly) on a Nikon Coolpix camera that I bought after we had arrived. Doh. 

We had booked a rental car and had a Toyota Camry for a few days and then George lent us his Crown Vic for the rest of the trip. It was blue and with the small 4.7L engine.

The Manhattan pix were taken on a bus trip we did from Long Island with another of Claire's cousins, this one from Ireland but domiciled in the US. It was freezing and the view from the top of the Empire State Building was too cloudy to see much!  Perhaps we need to go back another time for a better look?

UPDATE: Sadly, this was before Blogger or at least before I knew about Blogger and all my posts went on my Geocities website. Then as "progress" Geocities was axed by Yahoo! and all was lost.

I do have the photos and they are here on Flickr, or at least until Yahoo! decide the screw everyone there as well.
