Summerfield Suites Westchester White Plains

... first which Bell and i were not aware of because she thought we would discriminate against her. Diane is black - and hence though Australians would be funny about it or something. I didn't get it but she was the funniest lady - such a character and we loved her 2 bits. I can't believe they have that perception of us though.

Anyway another thing which NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT - is a thing called BLACK FRIDAY - you know in the ...

... 10 blocks (not actually that far) to the hostel, dumped my gear and headed out again. I purchased a 7-day unlimited metro card, and caught the train downtown to Times Square. What can I say about Times Square? It's straight out of every picture, every movie, every postcard you've ever seen. The sounds, the atmosphere everything just smacks of capitalism and consumerism (or are they the same thing?). Truly a sight to behold, and every picture you've seen still won ...

Road trip back home to White Plains. We stopped at Corning to see if we could visit the Museum of Glass. Here you are able to see them blowing the glass as well as taking a class where you are able to make something yourself. We were not able to take a class as it was fully booked. It was a long drive back home. Our comfort food... pizza for dinner.

... had a great view and could see everything. We returned to the hotel to get ready for Spamalot. The play was fun - I am not a great fan of Monty Python but I still enjoyed it very much. We wanted to see the play before Clay Aiken's run in it was over; he was very funny in it. The theatre was full, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Afterwards tons of people stood outside waiting for Clay to come out and sign ...

We are home!! It's truly exciting to sail up the Hudson River, watching for the Statue of Liberty, and thinking of all those who have done so before us. We watched the sun rise over Manhattan--and it was just as exciting as the sunrise over Sydney and Hong Kong. What a beautiful city this is!

... the whole level and it can get quite confusing with the variety of choice. Most shops stay open until 22:00, which is absolutely fantastic. It's impressive that the city council, takes cares of all types of disabilities, like all robots had audible sounds - so the frequency of the sounds changes as the time gets closer for the light to change. White Plains is viewed as one of the most attractive and desirable cities in the state in which to live, work, shop and play. We ...

Arrived to NYC a bit tired but ready for my upcoming interview. I went to the interview on Tuesday evening and it went GREAT!!! I feel confident that I did all that I could do ad now it is in God's hands. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Now...back to Madrid for about 10 hours, then off to Buenos Aires!!!

... c'est à cause des livres, des films et surtout de la musique. J'ai l'impression de connaître ce lieu depuis toujours, Mais en hiver alors, parce que quand on arrive, waouh ! c'est la folie, c'est bondé, il y a tout type de gens qui se baignent, dansent, chantent, font des manèges dans l'Astroland, c'est totalement incroyable et génial. C'est à la fois l'endroit le plus beau et le plus ...

Well, with just about two weeks left to go, I am finally getting ready to depart for the UZ! Today I bought a backpack at EMS and more long-underwear at Patagonia with Carrie. Now the Patagonia store on the upperwest is fully versed in Central Asian weather conditions...very useful info for their clientele I am sure. I also put this website together- so all in all- a pretty productive day! For all those who are ...
