Good Times in New York

I know, I know - everyone out there's been wondering where I am.  I know this because, being so like-minded to me, you've all kept your thoughts to yourselves and not mentioned it to me - but I'm psychic, so BOOM. Your ruse is busted.

Well, as the title says, I've been in New York - Manhattan, specifically - for the last four days with my friend Candace, and returned home last night.  It was a great trip; we went to see 'The Book of Mormon' on Broadway, 'Don Giovanni' at the Metropolitan Opera on saturday, two museums, the Empire State Building, Times Square, and plenty of amazing shops, bakeries and restaurants.  It was a lovely little mini-vacation.

Our Sunday flight home got cancelled and moved to Tuesday (which doesn't work for us, having to work monday morning) - and there weren't any other flights to Toronto that day on other airlines, so we rented a car and drove 10 hours home.  I count that as a second trip in and of itself, so technically I've been on two trips this weekend! :)

All in all, it was a great time - New York is massive, and hopefully I can come back sometime and keep exploring.  We only really scratched the surface of what's available to see just on Manhattan Island; so maybe New York may become a recurring travel spot for me.

But for now, it's back to work!  Stay tuned. :)
