I have lived in the US all my life and never made it further east than St. Louis--I am jealous! Have a great time, have you heard of the "Naked Cowboy?" If not look him up on the internet. He is quite the attraction in NYC, my sister got her picture taken with him. He says he works out for several hours every day and considers that "fun"??
Since we didn't get much going with the beaver talk maybe you can stir up trouble with the Naked Cowboy....
Your H (almost x??) is acting very interesting. Wanting to come see you before you leave, etc. He is definitely NOT ready for the divorce process. I bet things get interesting once you get back from the trip.......
Kerry, I laughed out loud too. I also chuckled at the "deportland" references.
Kalni, you will LOVE NYC. It is a 24-hour town, so do get your rest. Don't worry about the subways during the day, but the freaks do come out at night (especially in Greenwich), so make sure you're w/ your Prince!
Just keep moving at a fast pace and you'll do fine. Check out the Carnegie Deli for the biggest sandwiches you'd ever seen and don't leave town w/out a slice of Lindy's cheesecake.
Also, get to a show and tell us what you saw and what you thought. Mama Mia is still playing if you want to see some Greek backdrops in Manhattan!
Take care, travel safely and have a blast! I love NYC and need to get back there soon. If only we all had a Greek Goddess (or God for you ladies in the crowd) who wanted to meet us there...Damn Woog is one luck man.
