I have been on a little quest to visit as many baseball stadiums as I can.   Since Shea Stadium is in it's last season, I could not miss out on a visit.   I had scouted the Mets schedule and found a 12:10pm game for Thursday August 7, that would be perfect!   We flew…

I just checked out 2 Art Museums and the one on Ellis Island.- Guggenheim MuseumIMO it wasn't worth the 20$. There are only 5 levels, and 3 of them were reserved for an asian artist, which actually wasn't that bad, but his works were pretty LARGE, so they took away a lot of space. Art Painting were…

 I woke up at 4.45am, i was flying Continental from Portland direct to Newark, the website wouldnt let me check in for some reason but it said the flight was still on time so Emmy's dad dropped me off at the airport about 6. My flight was due to leave at 7.30am and i went straight to the Conti…

We did end up sleeping in a bit and then took a cab to the airport (much to my dismay).  We made quick friends witht he cab driver, he was for whatever reason impressed that I could answer the math questions he was asking.  He said I was the only one to figure them out, but I dunno about …

So...I went to New York all by myself to visit my brother. It was great. Got my early flight and it transferred at Birmingham which was strange, me being me though - I walked past my luggage and past security, when I realized what I had done security wouldn’t let me back through L. The reason I w…

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…

Well, where do I begin?...I suppose I should start from the moment I ran down the stairs of the D train and onto the platform only to discover that the train I was waiting for had just left the station. It was 5:45 and I had only 15 minutes to get there in time to catch the beginning of the two hou…

Seeing some old friends and making some new ones.

First asked TBs in the travel chat forum for ideas. Eric (the administrator) initially suggested Hawaii, a good place to do the diving course. I was still open to ideas and was considering Mallorca, Ibiza, Dublin, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco and even Monaco. Keith, Aloha supported the idea of doing Hawa…

I'm still busy preparing for my trip to China (departure from CT on 27 August 2008), but I'll write this journal and post the pictures as soon as I can. :) Attendees list (most, if not all, of us were first timers at a TB Meet Up): # TB ID Name Country Attended 1 …

***DISCLAIMER***The rest of the trip was fantastic. If you get offended by insults to NYC you should move on to the blogs from the other cities in this trip. Ok, it's my fault.I went to New York with big expectations. Huge expectations.But seriously? The place is a mess.... They say you e…

I am a Long Island girl...that being said, unlike most Long Island girls, I do not get to the Big Apple much.  Even when I travel the world, I always prefer being out in the country rather than the big cities.  As most of my friends know, I do not get into Manhattan so when my friend Chri…
