Off to JFK Flight to Washington, DC Missed Atlanta flight! Maria helped me to arrange a cab to pick me up this morning to go to JFK. It was only $23…only $10 more than if I had taken the LIRR and the Airtrain. Plus I didn’t have to wake up quite as early. I was at the airport about 2 ½ hours early so there was plenty of time just sitting around. Once again it gave me a chance t update my journal. I’m happy to report that I’m actually writing this entry on September 1st! I’m up-to-date…until tomorrow. Lol My [View Full Entry]

Hot and sticky day. I hate the humidity. But I love air-con! Okay, so I'm not really the Queen of Queens...just didn't know what to add for a title. lol I can’t believe that it is my last day here in NYC! It's been really nice seeing Maria and her parents and uncle after 15 years! It was also nice to finally meet Maria's husband Eric. They'll be celebrating 10 years of marriage this coming November. Man just another example of how time flies. This'll be a short one. Just thought I'd write a short entry detailing some of the highlights [View Full Entry]

That's Maria!

Riding the subway The rain is in NYC Grey clouds follow me! We all had an early start this morning since Eric had to go to work and Maria had to accompany her uncle to an Appointment out in Brooklyn. So Eric dropped us off at the Flushing Chinatown and we caught the shuttle into Chinatown. We made a short stop to say hello to Maria’s parents and then I started my day that I have all to myself today. My plan was to go to the American Museum of Natural History and check out what cheap tickets I can get [View Full Entry]

A day of eating Dim sum with the “relatives” Dinner with Tony Today’s plans all seem to be revolving around food! My favourite especially since eating is my hobby. :) First up on my list of eating adventures is to head into the Manhattan Chinatown. There’s an excellent bus shuttle service between the Flushing Chinatown to the Manhattan Chinatown for a mere $2. So Maria and I caught the bus to Main Street Flushing and then hopped aboard a shuttle bus and we were soon on our way. Once in Chinatown we met up with Maria’s parents and Uncle. They, as [View Full Entry]

Say cheese!
Me and Tony at Penn Station.

Pretty laidback day Shopping, eating & shopping Day of consuming! Maria had as appointment in town today around 3:30PM so there three of us made plans for lunch at the Blue Water Grill in Union Square. Since Maria and I wanted to check out a few stores and do a little shopping before lunch we left for the LIRR earlier than Eric. Well, actually we left twice before Eric. Maria and I made it to the LIRR station which is just a two block walk in less than 5 minutes and waited up on the platform. Hmm, the train is a [View Full Entry]

Lots of slow walking South Street Seaport, Ground Zero Makes for tired feet! Maria and I headed into Manhattan and walked over to the South Street Seaport area where we checked out a few shops. And then we headed to the food fair to find something to eat for lunch. After lunch it was more browsing and checking out some of the street performers. It was really interesting watching those four break dancers. Man they are super fit. Wish I could add video to this blog because I took a short video clip that was just amazing. This one guy jumped [View Full Entry]

Preparing for the the jump.
No photographs please!

Time to say goodbye Time in Europe is over Time to catch a plane. Richard had to go into work early on Friday so I set my alarm to make sure I was up in time to say my thank you’s and goodbye…would have been a bit rude to sleep in. lol The plan was to go back to sleep since my train to the airport could wait until 9:30/10. But then I decided against that idea for fear of sleeping through a second alarm…can’t take chances! So what better to do than surf the net! The past while there always [View Full Entry]

Race to the airport. Will be a crush of people. Damn bank holiday! Do I know how to pick the best flights or what? Of all the days to fly out of London I probably picked one of the busiest travel days in England since it is the last bank holiday before school starts. Oh well. It’s too late now to change things. I’ll be leaving for Heathrow shortly. Thank goodness it is only a 37 minute tube ride on one train...just have to get to the Piccadily line first! I've had a fabulous six weeks exploring England, Scotland, Paris and [View Full Entry]

Visit to Pax Lodge Victoria and Albert That’s a Museum! Well, today is my very last full day in London. Richard has to work this afternoon so as per usual I woke up mid-morning, around 9AM and then headed off on my own. I was gonna have my usual toast for breakfast but with the damp weather the bread had gone all mouldy. So instead I stopped off at Tesco’s on the way to Earl’s Court Station and picked up something to eat and of course a few snacks as well! How can one say no to four triple chocolate cookies [View Full Entry]

Rainy, rainy day An afternoon of eating Lots of talking too. I didn’t do much today in terms of sightseeing. I took it pretty easy this morning and looked at all of my stuff and started the sorting and repacking of my stuff. I’ve got too much stuff! But then again, what’s new? Haha My only plans were to meet Shannon, whom I met on tour while in Scotland, for lunch. The designated meeting place was only about a 15 minute walk. But in the rain! But that’s okay. I still have my tartan umbrella that I bought while in Edinburgh [View Full Entry]
