We Are In New York!!!

[James B.]

This is really neat. I'm jealous! Lol. A great trip to you both, and a great holiday in NYC!

 

[goingonhope]

Anthony & Nicolette, this is some really great news and I'm glad you both are enjoying! Also, I was thinking about each of you while watching some of today's parade on television, so I'm especially glad to hear you'all went to it.

Keep enjoying, enjoying and enjoying, ......and keep eating well! ;)

:)...:)

Internet is crap so quick post.

Went to Thanksgiving Parade & have photos of most of the floats - Inc PO :D

Dressed up for Thanksgiving lunch & had Turkey.

Took train to a huge electronics store to buy a spare battery as Anthony chewed through it leaving DSLR or some setting on.

On a train to Rhode Island to see forum supporter Shoka & her daughter - we have a koala bear for her :D

Two days until the forum walk so come on everyone - we've come so far & I still have a sore butt from sitting for so long. (rolleyes).

If we get back in time we might check out what is left of the black Friday sales!

Ps...took the Stanton ferry & saw the Statue of Liberty.

Time to have a Nanna nap on the train...

Talk soon :)

 

[Nicolette]

Ps... Still haven't had a chance to get over jet lag - tired & grumpy!!!

 

[Srain]

Hey Nicolette, you are entitled to be tired & grumpy, jet lag sux ;)

Wow, so you have been doing it up!! Way cool!! Can't wait to see the pictures, do get that nap in, it's good to take gentle care.

((((((((hugs))))))))))

P.S.
Hi to Anthony!
And thank so much for the updates, it's great to for me to relive it and know that you are up there just about 900 miles away :)

Glad you guys are having a great time. Wish you were a bit closer - I'd love to meet you both! Can't wait to see pics!

The walk sounds great, for sure wishing I could join in. I will be there in spirit, then. Thanks to Anthony and Nicolette for this forum. And for all you do. Wishing you a safe and happy trip!

 

[KP the nut]

It all sound totally amazing. Personally, I cannot wait to win lotto and do a trip of my own.

Enjoy it everyday and as they said in Hill Street Blues - be safe out there.

(((HUGS)))

I just got home. I wanted to thank Anthony and Nicolette for taking the time to meet me., We had a wonderful evening and they even managed to get me out of a family dinner:D. I had way more fiun and laughter out in the cold and a great dinner.

Thanks again.

P.S. Nicolette I hope you changed your shoes

 

[Nicolette]

Yep Nighthawlk.... walking boots the next day as even in the morning, on the carpet, I could feel stones under my feet (rolleyes).

Always happy to assist if you need to avoid family holiday events as while lovely they can be very demanding ;)

Did the flashy end of 5th Av today (Uptown) with the mission of going to Tiffany's, a handbag and some winter boots for work.

5 hours later we got back, had walked Uptown, saw all the store names but dared not enter most, only did the first floor of Tiffany's and spent the next four hours in Sax fifth avenue, walking out with a year's supply of makeup as it was half the price of Australia. Included was the lovely assistant Jessica teaching me how to best apply makeup for my face type..... now if I can only remember even though she did write it down. I think getting dressed will now need an extra hour for the next few weeks until I get into the swing of things (plus I already had two brushes needed at home already so I didn't buy those so will have to cope without). Anthony was impressed and wants me to start tomorrow.........!

Dinner was soup and a pretzel but we have booked into seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway.

Rhode Island was fabulous yesterday and we received the grand tour of Newport. Meeting Shoka in person was like finally coming face to face with a long lost sister with a connection oddly built over the internet. Her family are lovely and she is a gorgeous and generous woman. A day to treasure.

Tomorrow is the Central Park walk... have dosed Anthony up with panadol/tylenol and antibiotics as he is quite unwell from the flu he caught from the cold and coughing he was surrounded with at the Thanksgiving Parade. He soldiered on well today but is sound asleep snoring now (fun!) and determined to go tomorrow as well as visit the Apple/Mac store nearby.

The hotel is gorgeous and it is so perfectly positioned that we have walked most places.

I'm still out of sorts time wise and based on the noises coming from the bed doubt I will get much sleep tonight. We even tried to change our flights home to better ones but they want more than the entire trip and accommodation cost us. I will try at the airport and see what happens as it seems that standby is very popular in America from what we have seen.

Went down to Broadway tonight and found the closest thing to my son's NYY's varsity style jacket request.... he had better like it as it took some serious crowd navigation and block walking ;)

Anyway, nitety nite... talk soon :)
