KOA, West Chester, PA, to Holiday Inn, NYC:  Left West Chester shortly after 10:00 this morning.  Wanted to allow plenty of time in case we had a hard time finding the station in Trenton, NJ, and getting a place to park.  As it turned out, it was really easy.  Right after we crossed the river into Trenton, NJ, the train station was right there.  And really modern, clean, with a parking garage across the street.  Got our luggage unloaded and Mike went and parked the truck.  Had something to eat at the station and then waited for our train.  It was right on time.  We pulled out of the station at 1:28 and were in Penn Station around 50 minutes later.  One stop only at Newark. Caught a cab and were in our hotel and unpacked by 3:00.  Relaxed in our room for a while and cooled off and then headed out walking.  Walked over to Columbus Circle and had a drink at the Trump International Hotel at their outside bar right across from Central Park West.  According to the CNN building in the Time Warner complex, it was 92 degrees.  Felt nice though with a nice breeze.  Walked back and stopped at a really nice market and bought a couple of sandwiches, some drinks and cookies and walked back to our hotel. 


Some cute apartments across the street from our hotel on 57th.  We stopped at another apartment complex and checked out the prices.  A studio goes for $1,950/month.  A nice building though with 24 hour security.
