Unfortunately, our time in Florida had come to an end and it was time to head back to New York in order to catch our flight back to London the next day.

The flight itself was superb, apart from 60 mph crosswinds as we descended into New York. So apologies for not keeping a steady hand, but trying not to be sick and film at the same time is rather tricky!

This was the first time I had flown on Continental Airlines and I would definitely fly them again. Great service, great plane, quiet and the food wasn't bad at all!

Much to my amazement, we decended into Newark from the North and to my left was a beautiful view of the New York City Skyline.

Newark Airport is a cock-eyed airport, where the they make you go all the way down to the ground floor to collect your luggage, then make you go back up to the 2nd floor to catch the Airtran.
