19 pages. That's what I get for being late.
19 or 91, its all good!
Brook!!
I've got coffee, I've got some time....see you in a bit.
Perfect!
Okay, not so bad-didn't take me as long as I thought! Thank you for the links.
Youre welcome. Easy peasy.
I LOVE reading about the first impressions of NYC! It brings me back to my first copule times here and the awe I had at some things. Now it's just "normal" and when we visit the rest of the nation we are in awe.
I figured that you and a few other New Yorkers on here would love reading this
.its always such a neat perspective to hear someone describe their first impressions of something youre used to everyday.
That's what I call them too! They can be a bit much sometimes, can't they?
Yeah, tough city birds.
In case no one else commented on this, that is the Naked Cowboy. They even sell postcards of him.
And apparently, though I haven't seen him yet, there is now also a Naked Indian.
Yes, several people commented. I knew who it was but liked the way she wrote it, from the perspective of someone who didnt expect to see that.
I didnt know there was a Naked Indian, but since reading your post I just saw him on TMZ the other day
.apparently he and Naked Cowboy arent getting along. One or the other of them has said that the other is just out for publicity. Ah, duh.
Glad to hear the ladies enjoyed Wicked! The set is truly incredible, and the scene changes alone are amazing. The hotel looks really nice too! Many NYC hotels, even the expensive ones, aren't that great and are reallyyyyy tiny. Glad to see the Manhattan Club is a good one!
They loved Wicked, and loved the hotel, especially the location so that they could get all over that city in the short time they spent there.
I'm here and by the looks of it very behind! Thanks for the message, I've been away from the DIS for a bit so it was a nice surprise to find! I'll type as I read along. Nice family picture in the intro. I like the Senior trip title!
Bicki! Im glad youre back, and have joined the thread!
That building that Lauren liked is a movie theatre and the rest of it is a hotel! Good job on the trip plan. I love the not the Jersey Penn station reminder.
Thanks. I havent taken the train but when I was looking at the stops I was afraid they might get confused
I wasnt sure how obvious it would be when they were riding it.
Patsy's is really famous here, I have never been but it supposed to be really good! It's also in the Muppets take Manhattan!
Wow, in the movie huh? Ill tell them. They really enjoyed that meal, Ive heard about it a few times since.
Tell Lauren not to feel bad about saying no to the rent a bike people, there has been an explosion of these businesses in the city and frankly I think they are more annoying than the pigeons! Central Park!
I love it there to me it's a peaceful place in the middle of all the craziness. Dh also proposed to me there so it's pretty special to me!
Aw, how sweet. (Referring to the proposal, not the rent-a-bike people comment. As if there could be confusion there.)
Aren't the M&M store and Toys R Us amazing?!?! Did they get to visit the
Disney store? Fluffy's is right around the corner from my job! I should have given you my number to pass along to Judy we could have met! I forgot...next time!
No, they didnt get to the Disney Store. Okay, next time.
Oh yeah and those Mickey and Minnie mouses freak me out! I know tourists love them but I'm just concerned about who is inside those costumes. The just buy those costumes and then go out taking pictures with people,then they ask people for a tip in the end.
I agree. A little freaky. Somebody else mentioned that they hit you up for tips if you get your picture with them, I didnt realize that. Guess Im naïve.
That Indian food looked really good yum! I have yet to see Wicked, I guess its that I live here I can go when I want mentality but now I'm motivated! I have seen Phantom and loved it!
I know what you mean about attractions that are nearby, but you never get to. So, youre just going to have to schedule it.
Great job on the TR so far Lauren can't wait to read more!
Now that I'm all caught up, I'll be keeping an eye out for Judys!
Thank you. Yep, keep an eye out!
Still waiting !!!!!
I know, I know. Lauren has some more written, but I have to get all of the pictures inserted at the right spots
.not sure when Ill get to it at this moment.
Ummmmm...no. But I walk six blocks from the train to my office and the cabs do NOT stop at corners, blow red lights, etc. It's like taking your life in your own hand. And when I do have to take a cab from the office to my bosses apartment, I am petrified being in a cab with the morons who drive them.
Okay, I see. So you have to be aware of your surroundings and ready to jump, dash, or dodge. Be careful!
