Mark and I traveled to the city for a mini vacation this past week. I'm going to post a few entries chronicling our adventures in NYC. Our flight out of Valdosta saved time and money by us not driving to and parking at Jacksonville International Airport. Props to my amazing husband for planning the trip and for finding a great deal on the tickets! Travel was easy enough- besides making the mistake of wearing a hoodie while flying. I was patted down in the airport for looking suspicious. It supplied Mark with a few good laughs at least- well worth it he'd say.
We flew into LaGuardia and caught a taxi into the city. The hotel was nice but smaller than your average hotel room. We stayed in midtown and were within short walking distance of a subway entry. We walked from one side of Manhattan to the other on our first day, but quickly realized that we needed to figure out the subway system for the remainder or the trip. We did and it proved to be a huge relief, shooting us from one place to another.
NYC is remarkable, so vibrant with city lights burning 24/7. Taxis sprinkled the streets with yellow looking down from above. Subway trains rushed through tunnels pumping passengers from one stop to the next just like veins carry blood from organ to organ. The city was a giant- so full of life with its own pulse- never sleeping. Manhattan was incredibly busy and thrilling.
The next few posts will lend sound advice to those planning a trip to New York City and hopefully will make someone else's trip more enjoyable.
