Sailboat & Kayaks
I got back & worked three 14-hour days, then left for NYC on Thursday! There was a storm, all flights were grounded into the airport, so we ended up landing in Albany to refuel and then headed to the correct airport hours later than we should have.
Friday, DH had to work, so I worked on my evals, then we headed downtown. Wow! NYC is so incredibly packed full of people! We found a place that had 50% off tickets for shows that night... I wanted to see Mary Poppins... DH wanted to see Spamalot... Spamalot was funny, a little crude. The old theater was beautiful!
Saturday we did the Statue of Liberty (didn't know you needed advance tickets to go in it), got some beautiful pictures, enjoyed the museum on Ellis Island, ate food in Little Italy, went to the "Bodies" exhibit.
Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
Little Italy
St. Patrick's
Central Park
My favorite parts: beautiful history and stories of the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, St. Patrick's, Central Park and all of the culture and personality you see within, seeing the amazing diversity of that city
Not so favorite parts: cab rides (I felt like I was going to toss my cookies during every ride with the stench of old, stale smoke, air fresheners, and crazy driving); feeling claustrophobic with all of the buildings and masses of people

St. Patricks was one of my favorite things in NYC too! Did you ride on the subway at all? We had a bad cab experience. We told the driver the name of our hotel and the ADDRESS. Well, he took us to the wrong hotel. It had the same name, but it was just the wrong location. So since we had no clue where we were we got out and tried to check in and then found out we were in the wrong place...had to go find our bags that they had already put away in the holding room. lol
It looks like ya'll had a wonderful trip though!
