If you remember that line, you lived in San Francisco in the 60s. It was a slogan for Pan Am telling you about Flight 1 originating in San Francisco and going around the world. Pan Am is gone but the slogan put the travel bug in us and we have been working on doing it ever since.

New York, New York
We had an uneventful relocation to New Jersey, right across from NYC and we spent our first evening aboard the boat. The Spirit of New Jersey cruised up and down the Hudson River giving us the opportunity to admire one of the greatest cities in the world. We again enjoyed a buffet dinner, one that also included crowning our caravan mates Jerry and Jackie king and queen of the cruise for their 55 years of marriage. Jim and Nancy came in second with 52 years.
Dinner was nice but totally outshone by the setting, NYC viewed at dusk and evening from the Hudson River. Clear skies and warm weather provided us a delightful setting for enjoying one of the greatest views in the world. We rode under bridges, in front of Ellis Island, and up close to the Statue of Liberty. The thesaurus went back to work to provide the right words to describe our panorama, glittering, shimmering, sparkling, glistening, dazzling, brilliant. This evening is on the list for best moments of our Hudson River Caravan.
