341 West 30th Street New York City, New York, United States, 10001
So we left our boarding passes, hostel name and address, well... basically all of the important information at home lol. But believe me, Mary sure did remember the hair straightener!!! We got to the airport, and they were really great about it. The plane ride was really really short compared to Europe =) We got off the plane and had no idea how we were going to get to Manhattan. I saw a bus stop, and thank God it was going there! On the bus, we tried to remember what the name of our hostel wa...
New York City, New York, United States lnracI'm sick =( We went out the other night on the Brooklyn Bridge because it was rainy and foggy.... my crazy idea. My glands are swollen out of this world, and I can barely talk. But the Brooklyn Bridge in the rain and fog was worth it!!!! We can only stay out a little while at a time before I start running fever... so we haven't done too too much. We've been to grand central station, moma, the east port, chrysler building, the un, the bodies exhibition( look it up... it was amazing!!!!), the w...
New York City, New York, United States lnracLeave it to us to forget our boarding passes and hostel information at the house. I freaked out, but everything worked out OK. The people at the airport were very helpful, and got us new boarding passes fairly seamlessly. On the plane, I could only feel sorry for any person afraid to fly. There is an entire world above the clouds and everyone should see it atleast once in their life. Landscapes shaped completely from imagination exist up there. Our flight made it into LaGaurdia at 10PM last ...
New York, New York, United States sockmonkey70The city makes it's own music. It is far from the quiet, peaceful surroundings I'm used to, but it still has beauty. Banshee like squealing in the subway when it stops, random performers with their homespun instruments, horns, traffic, conversations spoke in languages I don't understand...It all weaves together to help invent the atmosphere. I swear half the people up here speak a foreign language. This morning we were off to try and get tickets to Wicked at the lottery (front row seats cheap...
New York, New York, United States sockmonkey70Lisa was still a little under the weather today, so we took it easy again. We ventured down looking for a building by one of Lisa's favorite architect...it was supposed to be a few blocks from where we are staying. Unfortunately, it seems as though this building hasn't been constructed yet LOL. We walked back, and stopped at an awesome little place called Amadeus Pizza...Let me just say they gave us enough food for 5-6 people...Food here isn't nearly as expensive as you would think, and they ...

... with a new awareness of all that we have. Ironically, I caught just a bit of an HBO movie that was asking many of the same questions I had in mind: why does the color my of skin make a difference? Why does the work I do make more money than the work others do? Why did I happen to be born on THIS side of the planet versus THAT side? How can we live, and work, and play when so many others are destitute? How can we possibly complain about such mundane ...
New York City, JFK airport, New York, United States veggirl57The first couple of days were classes for writers and a speed-dating type of event with agents. I went four for four on agents and now have to polish my novel to send to them. I got to see a good friend while I was in NYC whom I haven't seen since 2006, so that was great too. I got to hang around with some of the best authors on the mass mkt shelves right now and meet new authors as well. Great trip overall.
New York City, New York, United States segoertz... a wrap for Times Square. That place is overwhelming! Talk about ADD to the maximum. That night however, we rested up and met up with one of Jon's old friends, Dave at a weird Pirate Bar that I can't remember the name of that was in Greenwhich Village. After that, we headed over to the East village to meet some of AP's friends at this bar called The Edge. We met Jake, who is an amazing singer/songwriter performer, and bears a bit of a resemblance to Amos ...
New York City, New York, United States kellin... would peek his rolly polly white head out and begin stomping an unintentional frenzy all over the already intense streets that filled my sight. What to say... new york, new york.... that says it all. As I've been ranting about for the past few entries, everything about this "adventure before the journey" has been so perfect because it was the chance to re-connect with ...
New York City, New York, United States danielandeileen... the city and the failure of the mapquest directions the total driving time was 12 and half hours, 14 hours journey in total. This meant that we pulled outside the hostel at 2 am absolutely exhausted. Hats off to Julianne! Drama ensued when it transpired that the hostel did not in fact offer car parking and we had to locate a 24 lot nearby. It was cheap compared to UK prices, but that really was not the point! The next day we met up with Sue, also ...
