Live from New York . . .Well, after a long day of travel, I've settled in at my hotel in New York City. I'm in Midtown Manhattan - about five blocks away from the Empire State Building. I was pleased at how easy it was to get here. I decided to go for the full New York experience and take the subway from JFK into the city. Three different trains and only about six or seven blocks of walking, and I'm here. It only cost me $7, too, which is at least $35 cheaper than the estimates I had been given for cab fare.
I took a walk around town already and ate a couple slices of real NY pizza. Yummm! Now I just need to find a bagel, a pastrami, and a street vendor hot dog. I'm easy to please.
I'm still bummed out that Michelle isn't here . . . especially given that today is her birthday. I miss her already. She is a major gift to me, and definitely better than I deserve. I'm already looking forward to going home so I can take her out for a proper night on the town for her birthday.
Ah well, time to figure out how to go about getting where I need to be tomorrow . . . I'll blog as I have opportunity.
