Well, after staying up ALL NIGHT LONG packing for our trip, we were utterly exhausted! We have never claimed to be anything BUT procrastinators- by the way!! Our flight was leaving REALLY early, so Aunt Lana was so sweet to drive us to the airport at 5 a.m!!! We were flying standby, and we were really excited to find out there was a good chance we would get to sit in First Class. As it turned out, there was only 1 seat available, so Joey gallantly MADE me take it... and he sat back in coach. Poor guy. ;)
As far as our accommodations go, they were exquisite- thank you very much. My dear, generous brother kindly offered to let us have (all to ourselves) his high-rise apartment in Jersey City (just across the river from NYC). And he even arranged for one of his friends pick us up at the airport, so we didn't have to risk our lives driving amongst the NYC cabbies. (Which I will expound upon in a later post.)
So, the weather that first evening was bone-chilling... what they called snow "flurries", we Texans would call a full on blizzard. I think it was a wise choice to stay in, watch football, and order pizza for our first day in the Big Apple. I took dozens of pictures of our view, so here are just a few.
Check out the moon!
We can't ever thank Mikey & Honey enough for all they did to make our trip incredible!! Stay tuned for Day 2 !!!
