Ah man... I forgot to check out Chinatown. 😭

I didn't go to central park, either. The only place I went out of my way to see was the statue of liberty, and it kinda sucked because it was closed that day (went to the base island, didn't get to go inside). I mostly just walked around randomly until I recognized something from media and was like "Hey! I know where I am!"

I was only there half a day, and it was not really planned. I had just gotten injured falling down the stairs working on a cruise ship, and that's where I got off to go home. Otherwise I would have also seen central America going through the Panama Canal and Hawaii where the ship would begin normal operations... 😮‍💨

Honestly, Chinatown probably isn't the best tourist spot. Unless you have a specific destination there it can be a bit of a clusterfuck.

Hope you got better from that fall. Sucks you had to miss out on the rest of that voyage. Do they just sail in open water from Panama to Hawaii?

I honestly don't know the exact route, but I would guess a yes. We did cross the open Atlantic from Germany, where the ship was built and I got on, to NYC tho.
