... Elli who suggested going to get some beers.

I was almost hopping around with excitement & gazing about like a wide-eyed child when we went out & walked the few blocks to find a store. Elli suggested we go into Central Park but I didn't fancy sharing my beers with crack-dealers & rapists so decided against it. We went & sat down in the lower common room at the hostel & despite the crushing tiredness & jetlag that I was experiencing we stayed up ...

Today is my last day of preparation before my departure to South East Asia. I am so excited and relieved--at the same time--because I got my passport with all my visas at the last minute. My work visa for the UK was processed at the last minute. The UK Home Office did not give enough time to prepare all the necessary documents. It was very frustrating. I had to forfeit my passport to the Consulate for the visa to be processed ...

... saw a man with interesting fashion choice of a chicken suit.
New York Public Library-big disappointment as the facade of the building is under construction.
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)-Had to walk almost around the entire block to get in line for the free tickets...some cool and very important art pieces...girls were done for the day and very tired...Matt did get to see Van Gogh's Starry Night.
Katz's ...

... on time. However, this time he decided to veer right at the split in the road. Unfortunately the Lincoln Tunnel exit was to the left. So after getting a tour of Giant Stadium's parking lot, the bus driver got it right on the third try. We made it into the city and since we were now 30 minutes late, they decided to change our drop off point. We finally de-bussed and try to get out of there before there are any more ...

... her money's worth and although she has only just left a few moments ago I'm already forgetting. Once again you never feel like you have even scratched the surface here and everything is so big that you are always walking to get a train or find somewhere and then waiting or queuing and it all just takes so long and makes you exhausted. I am dead and I had no jet lag to start with. So anyway, we went for breakfast in my local diner and she was very excited at the pancakes and maple syrup ...

I don't really hate New York, per se, but I do hate JFK International Airport. On my way from Tokyo I landed in JFK and was prepped for my 3 hour layover before heading up to Boston. Might flight was eventually canceled and American Airlines could not get me on another flight until the following day....at mid-day....at Laguardia Airport...on a different Airline. And in all of this they couldn't figure out how they could ...

... the same wasn't bad either. Trying to sleep while Cowboy tried to figure out where Kitty-head was hiding, however, was tough. It was fun to have a week-long slumber party in NYC before heading off, though it made me feel really old each morning. -c-

... off for security and to get anywhere by taxi was expensive and time consuming. When we finished shopping we got a mo-ped (young college negro rode a bike pulling a twin seat). It was fairly quick - 8 minutes but he ducked in and out of the traffic, against the traffic in one way streets and got us to Broadway - where we wanted to go safely. We had appetisers at a Cuban restaurant which were excellent and then went to the show ...

... también es cierto que, según Luis, dormí bastante...). Al final reservamos un hotel en NJ a 20 minutos en autobús del centro de Manhattan. El hotel estaba muy bien, con una habitación que tenía de todo (dos camas grandes en una habitación donde dormían los 4 críos, y un saloncito con sofá cama para nosotros. Tenía frigo, y microondas, por lo que pudimos cenar varias noches allí. Por las mañanas cogíamos un autobús en la puerta del hotel, y nos llevaba a la 42 esquina con la ...
