a new adventure to the concrete jungle!

Yep, thats right. At approximately 10:30 tonight me and Pat will be aboard a Jet Blue airplane headed for New York City!!! We are so super excited that our adventure is finally here! A whole week to ourselves in the city that never sleeps sounds like a pretty good little vacation to me. My older sister Leah and her boyfriend Adil live in the city, so we have the perfect guides as well.

I am pumped for great food, great memories, lots of exploring, and hundreds of pictures! Planned so far are the following: Visits to MoMA, and the Museum of Natural History, a Yankee game, a Broadway show, a trip to a speakeasy, a great "little" hot dog stand in the park (The Shake Shack), and soaking up the sunshine (yes, they actually have that there unlike us here). I cannot wait to see what is in store for us on the 4th either. As you can tell I am just over all pumped about the whole thing.

A little background. This will be me and Pats first real trip together somewhere just the two of us far from home. He has never been to NYC, and the last and only time I was ever in the city was for Leah's graduation from Columbia when I was 19 with my whole family... so, several years ago. This is bound to be a completely different experience, and I am looking forward to it.

Also, I will not be posting until I return. Ta ta for now blogger, see you soon.

A few snapshots from the last time I was there (2006?):

I am packed and ready to go, bring it on.
