Our Trip to New York

Just The Facts

Introduction

This summer, my wife (Susan) and I made the fiscally irresponsible decision to spend a week in New York, specifically Manhattan. This decision was spurred on by the fact that I had a bunch of travel miles stored up and there was a sale, and by the fact that both my wife and I have a bit of a travel bug. Why Manhattan? Well, it wasn't our first choice, I'll admit that. We first wanted to go to New Orleans, but as the airline in question (Air Canada) doesn't fly there, we couldn't either. We looked at a number of other options to get to New Orleans, but decided that they would strain our budget much to far. It turns out that the was fortunate.

We could, however, fly directly to New York. Susan has wanted to get me out to New York (and pretty much everywhere else) for some time, so New York it became.

Now, I tried to write out an essay regarding this trip, but this became unwieldy quickly. So, instead, I have split things up into different topics, some of which may overlap. Choose, and enjoy. (My apologies for not having more graphics here. We took more than enough pictures, but I have only sporadic access to a scanner).

If you are interested in some "Virtual Tourist" information on New York, check out the Paperless Guide to New York City. It looks like one of the better sites I've seen.
