This was the starting point of our journey!
After a delay in Alex's flight and his parents kindly driving him another hour to the next closest airport we finally met after 3 months of being apart. We spent 3 days racing around the many sights of Manhattan and attempting to gather final supplies... and of course enjoying the food and shopping. We indulged in everything that we thought might be our last luxuries.

Perhaps shopping on 5th ave. was more of a last indulgence for Ashley than Alex.

Ashley was looking forward to going into Tiffany's but got an even better surprise when we arrived and found that they were shooting the sex and the city movie out front. We saw Sarah Jessica Parker!!!

Nothing is more New York than having a hotdog in Central Park.

Our quest to find great pizza lead us to Little Italy and North America's first pizzeria. Much to Alex's disappointment it was so good that Ashley actually ate half.

This was the ultimate torture for Alex. He was too full (can you beleive it) from the pizza to stop at any of the many, many amazing smelling stalls. There was so much to choose from...pizza, subs, sausages, veal, funnel cakes and even deep fried oreos.
