hotel: manhattan club Excellent location 5 minutes walking distance from Times Square. The MidTown area, the city center.
We flew on a Delta flight. The staff was kind, agreed and multimedia to pass the flight time. We landed around 4:00 a.m. with jetlag, at New York's major airport (there are two) JFK. We drove to the hotel and reached it around 5:30. We were so alert after many hours of flying, that for the most part we were sleepy, a little third was not even an option. We left the hotel to explore the area where we are. We were surprised to find that Times Square, the central and colorful square of New York, is just a short walk from us. Everyone who visits New York has the moment when they stand in awe of all the huge advertising screens and big, colorful signs, and are simply amazed.
Some of the stores in the Times Square area that you should not miss: the huge branch of McDonald's, the M&M store.
What to do in New York?
Go down Fifth Avenue, enjoy all the grandly decorated shops. As you deepen your trip in the United States, you will be surprised to discover every time how many Americans go to the end in everything they do. From the Nintendo stores to the Apple House ((Apple House) lots of shops. Continue down the boulevard until you reach the Down Town area in the south of the city. We arrived at the port and caught a free ferry that sailed around the famous Statue of Liberty of the United States The covenant, which takes about half an hour.
From there we took a subway (SubWay) to JFK airport. From there, free shuttles go to huge outlets where all the famous brands are available, with prices that are cheap you won't believe. Their location is in the state of New Jersey, outside of New York, about 20 minutes to half an hour drive. A shopping center, where you can spend your whole day. I recommend coming with empty suitcases that will make you comfortable instead of carrying suitcases.
At least one evening with a Broadway show is a must
The next day we woke up to an organized trip that we had booked in advance already in Israel, which is making a small trip to the neighboring country of the United States, Canada. The trip includes a stop at the world-famous Niagara Falls, which separate Canada and the United States. You can take a boat (in which you also get nylon raincoats to prevent getting wet) and get very close to the falls to get a close-up impression of the beauty and the tremendous height from which the river water falls. After the stop at the old falls in the town adjacent to the falls on the Canadian side called Niagara Falls. A picturesque and colorful town with a rough and unique design, lots of cool sculptures of animals and demons coming out of the local bars, giving the main street a unique style that I have never seen before.
On the way to the city of Toronto (Toronto) in Canada, we stop at the flower square, and in the city itself they let us go to the shopping mall, where there is a kosher branch of Aroma! And there we spent the second night.
And in the morning we started our way back to New York to our hotel. We went to an indoor shopping center located right next to Times Square called Macy's, which also has all the known brands at affordable prices.
The next morning we took a domestic flight from the New York airport and landed at the airport of Miami. From there we rented a car and drove for about three hours towards the city that is famous for the amount of amusement and water parks that are there, Orlando - which is also located like Miami in the state of Florida.
From our hotel in Orlando we purchased a ticket for the week of our stay, to the movie park of Universal Studios. A huge park in size, it's dimensions that we as Israelis don't even know. Within the park itself there are 6 different park complexes, each of which has a different concept, designed in a unique style, and the facilities tell the plot of the movie / series relevant to the concept in the complex. There is the Harry Potter Park where you can visit the famous Diagon Alley, and the wizarding school where Harry Potter and his friends studied: "Hogwarts". Superhero park, park, filming site area and much more. Among the facilities based on movies you can find: Shrek, the Minions, The Mummy, Popeye, The Simpsons, and many more!
The next day we went to the water park SeaWorld which includes many water slide facilities, some with tubes and some without. And also a wide variety of aquariums where you can look at a variety of fish species, sharks, whales, seals, penguins, and more.
Every round hour a major sea animal show begins, which includes refreshing splashes and feeding!
