Today's New York Factoid

There are 468 subway stations in New York. Check my source.

One week to go!

I just updated the map with some more places to visit. It's getting extremely close now and I can't wait.

In the meantime I'm on a different kind of vacation in Calgary and still having a great time :).

The countdown is on...

So here is my first post for our trip to NYC - I am really excited! The things that I most look forward to are:

-spending some relaxing time with nothing to worry about!
-trying to see a live taping of a TV show
-museums and perhaps a broadway or concert
-picnic in Central Park
-golfing on Chelsea Piers

I am looking forward to the flight to New York City, hopefully having a good view of the city and trying to get ourselves oriented about the big city.

I have lots of things left to do when I get back from Ottawa, and I can't wait. I look forward to packing!

This trip for me marks the end of my time as a student, and the start to a new adventurous beginning :)

As you can see I've got a lot more planning to do(!!!)
