NYC Adventure #2

I'm exhausted. I wouldn't have even known I was exhausted except for the fact that I stopped working for a second to stare out the window and have a sip of coffee and I just totally zoned out. Does that ever happen to you? The worst part is when you're trying to zone back in and your eyes get all fuzzy and out of focus..... now that I'm saying this out loud, I really hope I'm not the only one who this happens to..... I don't want to find out that these things are symptoms of something.....

Moving on.....
Actually I'm not really sure what the point of this post was, so I'm not sure yet what I'm moving on to.....

Oooohhh guess what?! I'm going to NYC in less than 2 weeks - May 13th to be exact!! I can't wait. It's been a little over a year since I was last there, but this time will be different:
  1. I'm flying Porter vs. taking a Megabus. Why? Well because I'm only there for the weekend so I don't have the time to take a 10-hour bus. And, because I have an income now and can afford to take a plane!
  2. I'll be staying in Brooklyn vs. White Plains, NY. My friend B. who I'm staying with lives in Brooklyn now as he graduated from SUNY Purchase.
  3. In addition to my travel buddy & BFF R., I'm also bringing my girlfriend along. She's no stranger to NYC, but it's our first time travelling together, so that's fun!
  4. We're going in May this year vs. February. I hope the weather is nice and then we don't get caught in a blizzard on the Brooklyn Bridge again..... I'm sure we won't.
Oh... and did I mention that I'm going to the Met to see an opera? Did I mention I have amazing seats? Did I mention my bestie B. is dancing in it? I don't think I did... I'm super psyched about it.

Last year during my visit (Feb/2010) I made a list of 10 things I was learning while in NYC. I wonder what new things I might learn during my visit this year. I'll be sure to list them.

I'm hoping to take in some more sites this time. Last time we did a lot of walking, which I hope to do again, too, but I have no problem going to some tourist sites with fees attached this time around. Maybe a museum? I'm also really looking forward to eating a few really delish meals, maybe going out to dance, and just generally enjoying what the city has to offer.

What do you recommend I do in NYC???
