No visit to New York city could be complete without a visit to the site of the 9/11 attacks especially if you have visited the Twin Towers as I have the memorial Gardens opened last year 10 years after the attack at the moment they are surrounded by building work on the new World Trade centre so access is controlled but once the rebuilding is complete then access will be unrestricted. Even though the memorial is surrounded by building work it is remarkably peaceful and in my view a very fitting memorial. After lunch and some final shopping we made our journey to the airport having investigating the options we had a luxury SUV to ourselves as this only cost a few dollars more than a shared minivan and was so much more comfortable. The airport and flight home were mercifully uneventful with us finally arriving home in the early afternoon of Thursday.
