New York Road Trip

Who knew that 6 girls that have never been on a road trip (where we had to be in control of the road) would make it safe and sound to the Big Apple all by themselves?!? Ya, we're pretty proud of ourselves too!!
With all the chaos surrounding our departure (we had last minute issues with our van rental) we are ever so grateful that we are finally HERE!
Sitting in a van with 6 girls for over 8 hours is not good news. It's amazing we didn't kill anyone on the way, and boy did the van stink!
Road trips are always exciting in the planning phase but with so many people it's usually a gamble as to how well it will actually turn out.
Having too many people navigate can also be problematic, and with none of us having any New York City driving experience, all of us were pretty anxious about getting here without being lost (although we did have to stop and ask for help numerous times). We were also kind of stupid for leaving at night but we wanted to make the most of the 4 days we managed to get off from work.

The main purpose of our trip is to explore the city but also to visit my Judy who is currently living in Brooklyn. We were lucky enough to have her neighbour let us stay in his apartment while he is visiting family. 5 girls in a one bedroom Brooklyn apartment is kinda tight, but we're not complaining seeing how expensive everything is down here. We aren't too far from the city (meaning Manhattan where all the excitement is), about an hour by transit.

We've got numerous plans to take in the city, specifically the night life, the arts, the culture and some of the sights (cuz NYC has enough sites to keep you busy for weeks).
