We are having the MOST FABULOUS TIME !
The plane ride was a dream except for a bit of turbulance on landing. The beds in our suite are heavenly. The food so far is awesome and not as expensive as I anticipated. The weather is hot but we are enduring.
A was on The Today Show this morning right before the news broke about London so she is still on cloud Nine. B is getting music written faster than we can think. Baby K has taken a nap both days in the stroller and loving all the activity and people. I promise that she has waved to at least a thousand people in the past two days. She rocks back and forth and squeals when we venture out onto the streets. We haven't gotten lost. Did I mention that we are having a fabulous time?
Tomorrow my friend comes from NYState and we'll venture down to Ground Zero, Chelsea Market and Chinatown... everything is going wonderfully and after a good night's rest - we'll be ready to take on lower Manhattan.
The only downside is that my shoes weren't really meant for walking the streets of NYC so I had to go and buy a pair of running shoes. Not to worry since I was going to get myself a pair once I returned home. I feel like I need t bathe three or four times.
It won't take me long to fall off into dreamland tonight.
Blessings everyone!
Whenever I hear of someone going to "Gotham," somehow I hear that old Pace Picante Sauce commercial..."New York City?!?!?!?!?!" :)
Sounds like a great trip in progress!
Re: "B is getting music written faster than we can think"...I just read an article somewhere in the last day or so about how creative juices just seem to flow better in the environment of the city than in the 'burbs. I'll try to find it again...
Hope the rest of the trip is super!

BTW...I know your trip is pretty much all scheduled this time around, but here's a link to the Manhattan Users Group - kind of a "what's happening" for NYC. It might be helpful...
