First Day in NYC

Let me just begin by saying that it is my understanding that people that write blogs believe themselves to be talented writers. For the record, let me just say that I do not make any claim to fame when it comes to writing. As a matter of fact, as soon as this vacation is over I will not be blogging any longer. However for those of you who like to follow our travels via the virtual world, please enjoy. This was all set up by Jerry. All I know how to do at this point is sign in and type.

Although we are exhausted since we have been going nonstop since 5:15am, today has already been a wonderful start to our vacation. The airport was packed as well as our plane, but everything was right on schedule and we landed and made it to our hotel without any problems. We are staying at the Doubletree in Times Square. The room is great as I have already mentioned earlier on FB. Of course as soon as we checked in we had to run out for one of the dirty water hot dogs from the street cart. You just can't miss those, they put these spicy onions on them and brown mustard that gives a flavor you can only get from the street cart here in NYC.

Tonight we took in a Broadway show. We saw Million Dollar Quartet. We recommend it to anyone. It was great. The music was fantastic. The highlight of the night was that on my first day here I have already seen someone famous. Valerie Harper sat directly in front of us. She was so close I could even see the blemishes on her face. Jerry wouldn't let me be a stalker and talk to her, get an autograph or take her picture. However I enjoyed watching her reactions during the show. Even though we were squished like sardines in the seats and a 9 foot man was sitting in front of me so I had to strain my neck to see around him, I still loved the show. After the show, we visited one of our favorite places, Juniors Diner. Take a look at the pictures and you will see why it is one of our favorite places. Only in NYC can they serve cheesecake this size of this one. I guess if you are here walking everywhere you go you can afford to eat cheesecake this size.

Blog more tomorrow if I have the energy, right now I am pooped and ready to fall in bed.
