Red Carpet Inn New York City Brooklyn

... and a sticky-rice-with-black-sauce concoction in Xi’an’s Muslim district. We dined on Peking Duck in Beijing. (If Buffalo wings in its namesake city are just 'wings,’ would it just be ‘duck’ in Beijing?) We dove into dumplings aplenty—some deliciously soupy, others crispy pan-fried—on 5 occasions. We devoured the sweet stuff: Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland (including the maple bar with strip of bacon), a tower of shaved coconut ...

... Pennsylvania was brutal, even worse than driving through Ohio in the snow. We didn't stop for any diversions along the way, because we didn't see any. There were no Pony Express stations like in Nebraska, and there were no natural national monuments like in the west. Just road. road. more road. We finally got home around 10pm, and after unloading the truck and dining on some corn chowder, we immediately fell asleep for 12 hours. Thanks for reading the tales of the road! We had a blast!!

... A trip to the city is nothing but a pleasure for me. Not only do I enjoy the occasional visit back to my mother ship... the Gucci store... but everything else about it! The buzz on the streets, the energy in the air, the hustle and bustle of fast moving crowds, and of course... dirty water dog stands... yes, its true, I can't seem to get sick of those Sabarets- yum! I know a lot of people complain about the trains, but the F train has become more like a ...

... taking a short break at Bryant Park). Then we went for what was claimed to be the best 'shake' in town. It's the Shake Shack at Madison Square Park and there's always a long queue. This time it ...

... walked down to the Jersey shore and enjoyed a great view of downtown Manhattan. The weather was perfect and it made a great night. Tuesday morning we missed the ferry so we took the subway into the city instead. It ended up being a better option. It was much cheaper and the kids were able to experience the subway. We were also able to walk around the city a little before we made it out to the pier for our harbor cruise. We ...

... facts and tidbits about the areas we were passing. It turns out he collects coins, and since he's transported people from all over the world, he has quite a collection glued to his dashboard! He asked me if I had a US dollar coin -- one he's been hankering for for a long time, apparently. Unfortunately, I did not. I tried to give him one of the new U.S. quarter coins, the ones from the individual states, but for some reason he wasn't so interested in that. I couldn't ...

The first time I visited NYC was during 1997 when I worked as a ground staff. I have been to those major tourist attraction. One of the thing I have a deep memory was the Woodbury Factor Outlet! While I flew to NYC again in 2005, for the longest direct flight from HKG. I didnt go anywhere this time since I always sleep HK time and that's 12 hours time different in NYC.

... and I had promised Ali that I would give her a manicure. I gave both of us French manicures and finished just as my Aunt Stacy got home from work and came over at 4:30. They all hung out upstairs while I went on the computer in the basement and finished putting together our list of must-do's. Normally I would have had these done MONTHS in advance, but I hate planning everything out really early and then not ...

... already been too many scary movies made about this exact situation?! The hotels we've stopped at have been gross and the towns were even worse. We're not making that mistake again. Friends of ours drive down to Disney every year and always stop overnight in Savannah and love it. I've always wanted to visit Savannah, and I recently read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" so I'm really excited! Plus we found a really nice ...

... go - boys are still the same :) so my new lover, anki, and i strolled away laughing. it's flattering to be hit on but what's with the question "is she your girlfriend?" two attractive girls who are petite can't just be friends, we need to be lovers too?? it was a very funny day. we finally dragged our butts back to the hostel after being gone for 10 hours or so - lots of walking. i broke the hostel rule of "no alcohol" in the dorm rooms and enjoyed a Sam Adams Cherry ...
