Default My March New York Trip

Some of you asked about my NY trip and I actually posted about it in another thread, but thought I would do it in its own post as well. I had a blast and know that I could not have made that trip at 330 lbs. It was so great to not have to worry about sitting in booths and getting on ferries and such.
Anyway, here is my NY story...

NY was awesome! I had so much fun. I just wish I had more time to do some serious shopping. I wanted to purchase one thing that said I HAVE BEEN TO NY! But, I didn't get to. I went to see "In The Heights" on Broadway and cried because I had never experienced anything like that. I highly recommend this show and do you know that Leonardo DiCaprio actually went to see it the night after us!!!! I want to go back and see every show (I am a drama teacher as well as English and yearbook!)

The kids were great. I missed my family a lot, but I was so grateful that I actually felt like walking the miles and miles we walked in NYC. I was not impressed with Central Park. I loved Rockefeller Center and am pissed that I didn't get anything dealing with The Office. I didn't see anyone famous, but I really didn't care about that.

I felt like I drank a ton of water on the trip and was always in the john on the charter bus, which caused me to giggle. The bathroom actually had a window with a curtain and during rush hour, I was waving at people from the commode! I know, small thrills! The kids thought I was nuts! I only threw up once after eating at the best pizza joint in town - I ate too much, but I really didn't care... LOL!


I was overwhelmed by Ground Zero, but it was nice to see work being done again. I was overwhelmed by vendors and have no skills in haggling!! Hence the reason I didn't come home with something that screamed NY!

I loved the statue of liberty, all of the buildings, and TIMES SQUARE especially. I was really amazed that the only person who was rude to me was in the Met Art Museum and he was one of the workers. We didn't know that the alarm would go off if we got too close to the art! LOL! He basically called me a dumba-- and told me to move the he-- on. I was mortified.

Anyway, I want to go back. I know I could never drive in NY. I wanted to take the subway and a cab, but didn't get to do either. I also wanted to go in the M and M Store. I just wish I had more time and I could back in time and tell myself to enjoy it more.

I was a definite tourist on the trip! You should have seen me when we finally reached TIMES SQUARE. My students actually wanted to hold hands we were all so scared and in such awe. It was amazing, amazing, amazing...

I will post a link to the pictures tomorrow...

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
