The next day we walked through Central Park, what a wonderful park!! Central Park is a large public, urban park in New York City, with about twenty-five million visitors annually. Most of the areas immediately adjacent to the park are known for impressive buildings and valuable real estate. Centra…

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…

definitely the best time of the year!!

    A big THANKS to Melissa, Eric and Ivana!!!     And HI to Joy & Doug, Monika & Jimmy, Danijela & David, James, Matt, Mike and Fred and everyone else I was lucky to meet!   Hope to see you soon again, guys!    

Wow! Rarely in my life have I gained so much in such a short space of time. 10 days in New York, with all the warmth of the people, the picture-postcard perfect snow when it fell and the crisp chill air to accompany the blue Christmas skies was really one of the most rewarding trips I have ever experienced! Museums beyond imagination, the sights, the art & culture and of course THE FOOOOOD... all blew me away. Get out there people, it lived up to the hype for me. I gotta get back there!

My friend Adam and I spoke three days earlier and I was to spend Saturday night at his house to allow for easier travel to Sky Harbor (which is only 15 minutes from his house), well this plan did not mature. I had to work a full shift on Saturday starting at 6:00 am, finishing at 2:00 pm. I went ho…

I woke up the morning of travel feeling incredibly tired and pretty sick; honestly, I wanted to call the trip off and crawl back into bed!  I had meant to get everything ready the night before; clean the house, pack my things... but even then I felt so horrible that I decided to crash and do i…

weekend was out, i woke up early to get my things done before leaving the hostel, at the very last day the ice breaks, the guys on the dorm asked me were i was headed, we chatted for a little bit and they told me they were going to the Statue of Liberty site, and aske if i wasnt doin…

This was a milestone in my life. First time to travel overseas. Being starstruck at the reality of seeing places in the Big Apple that I'd only seen in media  and drinking in the laid back suburban lifestyle of Rockaway. The pleasant company of a close godsister. Having the pleasure…

Like I said, I really like drive to NYC...though 6hrs of driving ( actually I beat my own record: 5h30 ;) and totally safely ) but anyway...so we arrived friday night, let baggages in Yves' appartment, and go to see him at his work ( wine seller in upper west side : BACCHUS ). What a bing…

Halloween, they say it brings out the wierdness in people, with the full moon, scary stories and just the plain madness of it all. My opinion, it is a great way for folks to let off some steam and to dress up in outfits that would not be considered normal everyday attire. This was my…

Two and a half days of sailing were required to reach our first port of call, San Juan, Puerto Rico. At Noon on Thrusday, the Captain made his bridge announcemnt. Our position was 230 nautical miles off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

We got up early and headed out to pick up my rings from the Diamond District that were being sized and on the way back to check out of our hotel, I spotted the Build-A-Bear Workshop and suggested Brett get a bear for his niece Leni.  We picked out a High School Musical Bear and dressed her up …
