I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for New York. I've never been to New York city before and I'm fairly excited. At this point it still feels a bit unreal though - like it's not really going to happen. I suppose this might be partially because I have not yet packed a single stitch for the trip.
In the end I took a room upgrade - I now have my own bedroom. I have also gone ahead and signed up for every single thing was being offered. So a harbour cruise, and couple of "special" dinners, and 2 bus tours. I thought I might want to do some shopping - and I still might, but I have decided to play tourist full time instead. When I was in London I ended up doing a hop-on/hop-off bus tour. I remember it being an awesome way to see a new place. You get the benefit of commentary, you hit most of the biggest landmarks and you have the option of seeing them in depth or just riding the bus and seeing them from a distance. Also as your pass is typically good for an entire day you can do the circuit a couple times if you feel you missed something or have some time to kill. Anyway, that's my plan for Saturday.
I am hoping that this will end up being the first of a number of trips to NYC. I'm going with a whole busload of women, so it should be fun and at the same time safe and well organized.
Okay - ya now I'm getting excited - hmm I guess the trick was to think about it more - lol. I LOVE travel. Any kind of travel. I'm one of those freaks that loves airports and hotel rooms. This time I'll be taking the bus - but even bus rides excite me if there's a distant destination. Gods I love travelling - why have I not done this more recently?
I have not been getting enough sleep lately. It always seems there are more interesting things to do late at night and it's now been several weeks since I've had more than 1 night in a row of adequate sleep. I'm starting to feel the effects. At the same time I don't think this weekend is going to be particularly noted for long and restful sleep. Geez at least I hope not. Oh well, another time. Maybe I can sleep next week sometime.
Oooo after this weekend I'll have been to London, Paris, and New York. Okay - it's taken me almost 10 yrs to do it.
