Yes events in Orlando do make you think how unimportant all the things moaned about on here are so trivial........awful tragedy.
Made it back home safely from a wonderful trip to Long Island and the City. Hotels on LI and the City were fantastic........couldn't do enough for us.
Had the best time and weather was wonderful, high 80's most days. One day of rain which was day before we left.....so not too bad.
Saw so much more of Long Island this time and saw some of the wine country which was so beautiful, The Hamptons, Fire Island, Port Jefferson and so much more.
Spending time in the City hotel was wonderful. Walked so much more than last time even though it was so hot, just took our time. Spent almost a whole day in Central Park......fabulous day then stopped in at The Plaza for a cocktail (for me) then Tiffany of course.........spent a time choosing something in there for mum and I.
Did Rockefeller centre at sundown which was beautiful to see the city slowly light up and see the Empire State Building light up........it was Memorial Day so red white and blue it was.
Empire State Building early next morning was gorgeous too..........still hate heights, but you gotta do it.......went to all the little parks including Bryant Park, Flatiron Building, Fifth Avenue, The Village, Washington Monument, new world Trade Centre although we didn't go up this time. Also didn't walk the Brooklyn Bridge as we just didn't have time this visit.........will keep that for next time.
One of the nicest days was when we did a boat cruise around the whole of Manhattan.........it really was spectacular as it was such a beautiful day. Got some lovely pictures and learnt a whole lot of things I didn't know.......
Seeing Wicked again was amazing, love that show.
Food was good in both places and spending time with my aunt, cousins and their families was the best!
I could write so much more about all the things we did and enjoyed, but I'd be here for hours.
It was also wonderful to see my husband and son again. Missed them so much although Skype was wonderful and really helped with missing them.
Getting back to normal now..........back with laundry and just hanging with my DH last couple of days.
Need to catch up at some point on here.........just so busy right now.......
Robo, glad trip went well, will catch up soon with your trip report.......
Vicki......naked gardening????? I must have misread.........I blame jet lag
Nice to be back........
