On airplane, preparing for our trip to Paris!! We are tired from NYC, so hopefully we will sleep. We land in Paris at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, I think the flight itself is 7.5 hours. New York was good but we tried to keep it more relaxing than previous trips... less sightseeing and earlier to bed. We did enjoy seeing Sara!! My conference was good as ...

Saturday in New York City with my two girls, it doesn't get any better than this. While Amber and Anil joined the line for 1/2 price tickets for a show, Heather and I went for a coffee run across the street. Lucky for us the box office had its temporary location right next to our hotel, so we didn't have far to go. The girls waited it out while ...

I never thought the excitement would begin before we even get to the hotel. Riding in the airport shuttle has resulted in at least 10 more gray hairs. We did survive the ride, but I am not sure all the pedestrians did. When we arrived at our destination, we were dropped off at the fabulous Marquis Mariott right in the heart of Times Square. A 30...

I flew on an extremely delayed JetBlue flight. I sat at RDU for 6 hours. Whats worse is that Kelly was flying on a different flight out of Nashville. She was had to sit at JFK waiting on me! After the ordeal was over Jet Blue gave everyone on the flight a $50 off the next JetBlue ticket. So I guess Jet Blue thinks my time is only worth $8 an hou...

I'm afraid I don't have clear memories about Central Park, except that I think I was afraid of muggers. LOL :/ We did take a carriage ride around the park though, and it was beautiful.

I'm not quite sure why the author listed "Historic Downtown" separately from "New York City", but whatever. [shrug] She mentions Wall Street and the Financial District which we walked around. This was a special interest for DH. It was fun to see though. She also mentions the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) which we were able to view many times ...

Today we walked all over--from Wall Street to Seaport. Had lunch at The Fulton Street Cafe. Went shopping at the biggest Macy's I've ever seen. Took a buggy ride in Central Park, very romantic. :) Had dinner at the hotel...The View at the top of the Marriott Marquis, a revolving restaurant with an incredible view. I remember eating some really g...

Went on the Circle Line tour around Manhattan. It was great...loved seeing the Statue of Liberty, the Twin Towers, the whole island was amazing with its towering skyscrapers. It gave a really nice overview of the Big Apple. One thing I remember vividly though was that a little piece of metal fell off one of the bridges as we were passing under i...

I have only been to NYC on one trip that was many years ago. Certainly there is no wonder that this city is listed in the "1000 Places..." book. But for whatever reason, I didn't really like NYC that much; I don't know why. I have always loved big cities, and in America, they don't come any bigger or brighter. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis r...
