001.jpg Descending, being sequenced for an approach to landing at New York's JFK.
002.jpg I can see the New York skyline peaking it way through these clouds, maybe these clouds will burn off by the time I want to go on top of the Empire State Building. The Manhattan skyline is too distant to my left to capture in this photo.
003.jpg Just walked from the gate down a long series of ramps to the ground level of the airport terminal area. Looking at the directory for the shuttle bus phone location, Seeing none, I opted to take one of many waiting cabs outside the door.
