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 I may have mentioned before, were all very excited about my arrival into NYC especially since it has been so many years. Luckily I still have some photos from Christmas Eve on the memory card ... read more

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 couple minutes late. Wait, I see it coming.

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 seems to be email to answer or stuff to look up for future travels and of course updating my blog is always on the to-do list right there with shave my legs. Lol My sister ... read more
