The weekend began at Village Underground, Friday, April 25th, where the live house band played great music and drinks were to be had. Having worked the night before and it was very hectic on the floor that night, I spend all day Friday sleeping - drained and simply exhausted.  Meeti…

Our last day in the city. So far so good. No major hiccups and the weather had cooperated to date. Since we were planning to be inside almost all day, I figured the weather could pretty much do what it wanted and we would be fine. When we stepped out on the street, from our breakfast at the Key Wes…

          Birthdays in the middle of the week are always a challenge.  You really want to do something, but after a long day of work, making that happen can be difficult.  So when my friend Ashley’s Birthday rolled around on a Wednesday, we knew it was goin…

:( this was my last day in NYC, there were no more chanced to delay my leaving. Well, I´m sure I will be back eventually. My bus was leaving the city early in the afternoon, so I just wanted to explore around the city and visit a couple of museums. Matt was leaving too. So we just checked ou…

After walking around Ground Zero for a bit, we took the subway again and headed over to Times Square.   It was somewhere around there that we parted ways with Adrian, he had some stuff to do and was getting ready to continue his vacation to the US, I believe he was heading out west next.&…

Sometimes when flying nonrevenue stand-by, you have to be creative.  In this case, the flights to New York were all pretty much full.  I don't know what was going on there that weekend, but then again isn't there always something going on in NYC?   We left on Thursday morning …

During my 7 hour flight to New York, I had alot of time to reflect on my trip since I didn't have my ipod or a personal tv to entertain myself lol... As I look back on the last 20 days, I will remember the countless people that I have met, the priceless experiences that I have had, and the bonds th…

Ok so on my travels again & now in New York for Feb 2008. Again…travelling by myself, getting the bus blah blah blah but its ok this cause I’ve done it before so I’m a pro! J I took all the precautions for the cold weather then. Now I had been told that New York winter is freezing an…

Today we departed to South Ferry Terminal to take free ferry ride to Staten Island. I did that 2 days earlier and didn’t mind going there again. Afterwards we strolled down to lower Manhattan to see Ground Zero and we had our lunch on the plaza. The food sold by this moving cart mostly Middle-Eas…

Done a lot of thinking about NYC in the week I have been home in good ol Gibsonton Florida.  25 hours on a train without a sleeper is the MAX!!!  I enjoyed the train, I saw things you never see from a plane or the Interstate,  I napped, I drank  Train Trip Toddies in …

We're down to our last 2 days here in New York.On Monday we hit the road on our drive cross country from New York to San Francisco. I mapped the course on our UNITED STATES MAP. We're taking Lincoln Highway straight across the whole way.  There's so much left to pack and move out. I don't know…

Day three; our last day in NYC. Check out time for the hotel is at 12:00 noon, so we have some time. We are not taking the subway today other than to get to the train station, so more walking! We have lunch reservations at 1:30pm, but first we must find breakfast. If you haven’t figured it out …

Ok so after having such a great time in Amsterdam, meeting so many amazing friends in January, I decided "wouldn't it be cool to do the same in New York!"  I posted the idea on the forums and right away the response was very positive.  Remembering what Devi went through when planning the …

Like the rest of New York, Grand Central Station doesn’t let the holiday season go unnoticed. A brand-spanking new Kaleidoscope Light Show dances on the walls, pillars, and lofted ceilings in the station’s main concourse every day from 11a.m. until 9p.m. until the New Year. Admission is free, a…

The problem with Brooklyn Bridge is everyone just wants to walk it (though for good reason, what with its magic and romance and history), and they never see the full glory it rightfully deserves.  Enter Manhattan Bridge, its lesser known sister to the north, the lesser traversed of the bridges…
