Love your reports! It's been over a year since I moved to NYC and I'm still loving it! So happy to see your NYC portion included in this report.
The trip report is off to an awesome start, as always! I totally get missing your boy. My son is off to college. He's only two hours away and we see him often, but still hard to say goodbye for extended periods of time. What a bummer for your first glass of vacation vino to be a dud! But, glad the bartender rectified it with the Pinot Grigio. I'm so happy you were pleased with your NYC hotel with a warm welcome and nice furnishings. That looks like such a spacious room for NYC. I'll have to keep this one in mind as my daughter has been asking to return. Looking forward to the next installment.
Was that St. Patrick's Outside your window? Beautiful view.
Love Tom's expression with his glass of wine! Beautiful hotel! NYC cabs are more terrifying than any theme park ride I can think of!
The view is just gorgeous from your room, makes me miss NYC, it has been awhile since I have been. What a lovely start to your trip!
Beautiful hotel and yep, we have crazy city cab drivers too. And yeah, my local railroad decided to start construction on the first Sunday of October. Lucky I have a nice DBro that gave me a lift.
Glad you got into NYC and settled in without much issue. Nice of the hotel to cover the charge of wines.
This is totally random, but the scale in the bathroom thing. My mom has heart issues and has to weigh herself every day as a sudden gain in weight can mean she's retaining fluid which can be dangerous. Perhaps they're in there for people who need to weigh themselves for health reasons? Or the numerous travelers who need to weigh their luggage- too many NY souvenirs to drag home.
Wahoo! So excited to read your trip report. (As I mentioned previously, your last trip report helped tip the scales in favor of booking a Universal Orlando trip.) This is perfect timing for me, because we will be visiting next month; this trip report adds to the pre-vacation excitement. You both have such a positive outlook on life; it's hard not to smile while reading. Looking forward to the rest.
he had no clue
where the Christmas tree goes every year
Sounds like great start to your NYC adventures...but you did look a little scared in that pic next to the edge or you may have just been tired.
You're racking up on the free champagne and that cake looks delicious as did your meal at Junior's...can you tell I haven't had breakfast yet?
I would have had no clue either
If you want to see crowds...go during Christmas time times 10. Lines to get into department stores and lines to see their outdoor displays. It is awesome but you need to have a lot of patience. We went last year and we waited in line for 45 minutes to get into the Lego store!
You are a braver person than I. When I went to the top of the Rock I couldn’t get anywhere near the windows. I stayed as close to the wall as I could.
Was “Van Gogh’s Ear” still on display outside? I think it was near Rockefeller Center. You couldn’t miss it if it was still there.
I absolutely love your trip reports! When we were planning our vacation to Universal a year and a half ago, I read all your reports. I felt like I knew where everything was and everything to do. When we arrived, it all looked familiar to me. We are headed back to Royal Pacific next month, can't wait!
We are booked on a Trans Atlantic Disney Cruise next September leaving from Dover, UK to New York. I just booked our NY hotel last week. It looks like the hotel you stayed at is just down the road. I'm so excited to read about your time in NY, we have never been and seems a bit overwhelming. We have decided to hire a private tour company to show us all the major sites. I don't think I could navigate on my own like you.
Thank you for writing very detailed, interesting reports! I am eagerly waiting for the rest!
What a wonderful treat to find a new Schumigirl trip report! Looking forward to the next installment!
Great start to a celebration trip. Always look forward to your trip reports. So nice to see your smiling faces. You are both very photogenic.
Looking forward to more.
I love your trip reports! And you both have the most wonderful smiles! I can tell you enjoy your time together!
