Alan's blog: With Alan & Allison already in Lima and awaiting our arrival, Ron, Alan, Michael and Matthew headed to the airport Montreal to start our trip to join them. But the plane was late leaving and we missed the connecting flight to Lima from New York. After being bumped from one hotel to another, we crashed at the Holiday Inn (on American Airlines...) and resolved to make the best of a bad thing: being stuck in New York for the day ...

... hang on, you've probably heard that before. Thanks Bron and Ax for leaving me some messages on the blog, at least I know now that Oz is still alive and kicking and not sunk into the Pacific Ocean. Susan, after NYC, it's back to Kelvin Grove. Don't seem to be taking too many pics but I'll put a slide show together of what we have and bore -oops I mean share my holiday with you all. Should only take about 4 hours or so. Date to be decided......... TTFN

... and take a breather, and before long Sharon's friend Andy appeared and introduced himself. He's been dancing in NYC for 10 years, and was a very nice lead, so if you ever go to the Fram and are approached by a friendly fella named Andy, dance with him, he's delightful. Before I knew it over an hour had passed and I was feeling guilty that the other's were waiting for me in the bar below. Of course they were extremely gracious and insisted I should stay as long as I ...

Why couldn't the snow wait for just one more day? I wasn't that worried about taking the subway to JFK (thanks Lank for the tip on the 'E', I use that all the time now), but I was concerned about Chad & Aarathi making it with my Dad from Rockland County all the way to Queens. With the snow coming down I decided to leave a little earlier than normal at 3:30pm for the 7pm flight, and despite the most packed Airtrain I'd seen I ...

... Bridge, heading towards Manhattan. This was great fun...there were lots of people, locals especially, walking/cycling/jogging along Brooklyn Bridge. For dinner, we went over to Pettie's sister's place...

I love New York, its absolutely amazing! I made my 7am flight out of San Jose and said bye to Central America. A little worried about how I'd fit into society again I took my seat and was barraged by the American guy who would talk my ear off for the next 5 hours route to Phoenix. All in all he was quite interesting and made the flight go quickly. I had 10 hours to kill at Sky Harbour International Airport so I explored the different terminals ...

... tell you that this trip scares the living hell out of me. And that's what's motivating me to do it. Because I don't know what I'll find in the deep, dark recesses of my mind, and I'm more than a little curious. It might be a rudimentary state of enlightenment, but it might also be a psychotic break! And how am I supposed to know the difference?? As I'm traveling over the North Pole tomorrow en route to ...

... she did NOT want to walk anymore, so we decided to do that later this week and instead caught another subway to the Rockefeller center. We had just sat down on a wall by one of the fountains when we were shooed along by yet another security guard. A couple of gripes about NY: Revolving doors very common, and can be tricky trying to get through them with kids underfoot, because they move so fast. Also there are security guards everywhere who ask you to move if you sit on ...

... The dinr is nice too. It takes 2 dase to get ther. I am stel bord in the aorane. I have to press a bonin then comesa suvis. It is a log trip to Argentina. Now I don't like it. Wen you go to a Aplane it is fast wen you take off. ------------ That was pretty difficult to write lol. Seems like I liked the ride at first but quickly became bored. Forto = Florida
