WOW!!! What a great weekend in NYC. I was a bit nervous about this one, just because of so many TB peeps who were coming. I am somewhat shy in large crowds and wasn't sure if I would be comfortable in this setting, but all my fears were soon removed.  I will admit, the wine and Patron helped me loosen up, but it was the people who made all the difference.  These TBs who came were such a fabulous group of people, and I felt so comfortable in their company. I realize I did not get to ...

So, this is my hometown and my favorite place. It's truly unique, from the amazing hot dog aroma to the crazy people, like the Naked Cowboy, to the best shopping on earth! This is my New York :-)

146 photos uploaded for DAY 2 of the Official NYC TRAVBUDDY meet-upHOLY FRIJOLIES!!!!Day 2 - Can you believe it...I don't have a hangover! Whoo-hoo! James, Jillian, Stephen and I decided to do a little tour of the town. It was BEAUTIFUL weather! Warm enough to throw on a pair of jeans and a tank top! Wow perfect weather! We hit Times Square and did the obligatory round circle shot and took a photo of the 3JXPRESS! We decided to also take the "Duck Tour" of NYC.  This is a tour of the Emp...

Well, it was home time for the Scots in NYC. The other good thing about the Continental flight to Glasgow is it leaves at about 8pm, so you're also got most of the day in the city, and it's not a day really spent in the airport. We checked out and left our bags in the hotel until mid afternoon, when we'd booked a car to take us back to Newark. We breakfasted at the cafe next door to the Doubletree and set out for Central Park with the hope of going on a horse and carriage ride. The bad new w...

Here I am, sitting in Terminal 4 at JFK Airport! I arrived in from STL at 10:30 AM local time and my flight to Johannesburg doesn't board until 4:30 PM. So, I have around 4 hours to kill...and what better way to kill it than starting my Africa blog. The morning started at 2:30 AM (Missouri time) and by 3:00, Kendra and I were on our way to STL. Kendra gave me a ride so that I wouldn't have to park my car for six weeks. THANK YOU, KENDRA!!! I boarded my plane at 6:30 AM and was off t...

(still a work in progress) Okay am finally getting a chance to start writing. Let's start at the beginning of how all this came about, here goes. Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a boy named Jeff who had just come back from the famous Amsterdam Meetup. He had such a good time that he thought to himself "ha, why don't we have a meetup here in good ole New York City. Yes, what a good idea".   Lol, seriously folks that's what really happend; and I digress,&nb...

Theres nothing like New York City. As they call it the Big Apple or the Capitol of the World. It offers everything a person can desire and more. My sister and her friend came over to visit me for the weekend. I decided to take them to some of the famous spots in NYC. New York City is like an endless book, once you think the book has ended. Another chapter emerges. What can i say, the more i experience New York City, the more I LOVE IT.

Manhattan, New York. Some shootz taken from the city that never sleeps.

You do get to see more when you walk. BUT use the subway if you have feet that are not made for walking! Oh, and get a subway map so you can plan your trip better  :-) http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htmThis time I was showing my friend from Germany around New York City. I was surprised that I've become a pretty good guide to the city after such a short time. I finally have the subway down to where I don't have to check before I leave the house on which line I have to jump and where...

New York is a great place for EATS.... You can get anything you desire in NY and it will usually taste authentic, even if its something typically made half way around the globe. I am not going to lie, I am not a huge food critic... As long as its not moving, bleeding, or talking to me... Ill think its an ok meal...hahaha. However, some people are more critical than others. Here are some places that I think might do the trick for some of you while your visiting the BIG APPLE. Feel free to add ...

A few weeks ago Lucian (lucian_32y) sent me a message saying he would be in NYC from February 14 - 15 on his way to Central America and wanted to know if I could spend some time with him while here. I told him I would love to. However, since it was during the work week, and my employer is a slave-driver :-), I told him I would meet him after work the night of the 15th, which also happened be a Friday night, and I wouldn't have to worry about getting up too early the next morning. Friday...

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.  Meeting time with my friend, Aileen, my +1 for the night, was 10PM - but she was late when I received a call from a co-worker, Ken, that he needed a drink. Always up for a drink or two or 5,...

So let me begin with my Saturday morning.  I woke up at about 6:30AM to find myself in bed wearing the dress I had on the night before... oh right... and my boots as well.  One too many shots for this gal!  Finally got out of bed around 9AM to shower and head to my nail appointment.  Had some time to kill, so grabbed breakfast and then off to the gym to train my 1PM client.  I returned home around 2:30PM and attempted to take a nap being as I only had about 3-4 h...
