NYC – The Trip Home

TUESDAY, 4:36 PM
We’re sitting in the Newark airport now.  Internet access is $7.95, so I guess I’ll just wait until we get to Charlotte to start uploading the posts I’ve written over the last few days.
Let me start by telling you how atrocious the customer service has been at the airport thus far.  I was [...]

NYC Day Four

We’re back home, but I still need to post about our last day in New York.
Ben got us a “late” checkout from the hotel – 1:00 instead of noon – but we were happy to have the extra time to get our bags packed. We decided to head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. [...]

NYC Day Three

Monday, 5:55 PM
One of the first things my sweet husband said to me this morning was, “I wrote the blog Memento-style.” If you’ve seen the movie Memento, you know that the story is actually told backwards.
What he didn’t mention is that the restaurant where we had dinner is called China Grill. It’s owned [...]

NYC Day Two (Ben’s Post)

Sunday, 9:49 PM EDT
Sarah just told me she loves our toiletries. They’re made by a company called Gilchrist & Soames. I’m not going to lie to you, they smell good. Right before that a man knocked on the door and brought a shave kit, kit rasage if you speak French. Sarah [...]

NYC Day Two

Sunday, 4:20 PM
We’ve had a busy day so far!
We slept in a little this morning. When we woke up, it looked cold and rainy outside – and it was! We thought we’d get a bagel before the Circle Line and because I don’t have a coat with me (that’s a debacle for another [...]

NYC Day One

 
SATURDAY, 10:00 PM
Our flight touched down at LaGuardia at 2:55 this afternoon. We only had to wait about 20 minutes to get our bags before we were able to grab a taxi and arrive at our hotel on West 44th Street (via the Midtown Tunnel) by 3:40! Even though the cab [...]

We made it!

Well, we’re here. Our hotel is beautiful and we have enjoyed ourselves so far. One problem: internet access is $11 a day! I’m typing this on Ben’s phone and it’s quite a chore.
Unfortunately, you will have to wait until we get home for updates and pictures. But don’t worry – I’ve been recording our adventures [...]

We’re on our way to NYC!

Ben and I left our house about 6:30 this morning, headed for New York City via Charlotte, North Carolina.  We got to Charlotte nearly half an hour early, and now we’re just waiting for our flight to LaGuardia.
Weather has definitely been an issue on the east coast this morning; a tornado swept through downtown Atlanta [...]

Three Wiikends in a row!

The weekend after we bought the Wii at Target (we made a hefty profit on it, by the way), Circuit City put it in their Sunday advertisement. So guess who was standing in line outside the store 20 minutes before it opened that morning? That’s right – Ben.
And wouldn’t you know it? [...]
