I had a wonderful time. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour on Saturday to the financial section of Manhattan. Met some very nice people that where on the trip with me.
Nice hotel, convenient location. Loved the Rockettes and the city tour. Plenty of time to explore on your own. Nancy and Linda were very helpful and it was a wonderful trip.
NYC is a special place that excites (at least for me). My husband and I had a wonderful time with the mixture of planned and unplanned events.
Differently somethings to reconsider… constant playing of movies on the way down seemed a bit much. On the way back would have enjoyed a little more quiet time in the last hour to say goodbye to fellow new friends but when the bus arrived in Marshwood getting off was all we thought of…you and your assistants could not have been more gracious and friendly. Good team.
Have a healthy happy holiday season.. it started off with a bang!

Season's Greetings Christine,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience following our trip to New York City. It was a pleasure to have you and your husband along. I appreciate the input about the movies and my "team" Linda. I will pass the message along to her and adjust the movie schedules/volume going forward.
I'm glad you made some new friends and hope to see you on another outing in 2026!
All the best wishes for a happy and healthy new year ~ Nancy
We had a great time! Plenty of time to do what we wanted plus see the Rockettes and opportunities to join in with other folks on the trip to have dinner, go sight seeing etc
