New York New York Good Friday

I AM HERE!

After a very long long long long flight I arrived in New York!!!

As I type this I am feeling tired after getting just 4.5hrs sleep last night, however I am going to maybe hit the pool and swim some laps which should wake me up a bit. I guess thats one of the perks at staying at a YMCA, there is a gym and pool that we can use.
My room is pretty basic and so small . . . after waking up freezing my little butt off I think i semi worked out how to switch on the radiator, however I will ask down at reception later how to work it properly . . . hey now before you go shaking your heads at me REMEMBER jetlag, lack of sleep and there's two things you can play around with to make it go and I am not sure what does what hehehe

So the plan for today I think is just to start exploring, I want to get some boots and a handbag . . . but other then that I am just going to see where the day takes me which is actually a really nice thought to be honest. I have picked up some brochures for a couple of card things which get you entry into things and I might go out and get one that way I think I can just hope on and off busses and into the things I want to see.

For those of you that know anything about NY I am staying in the Upper West Side so i descovered this morning . . . . in my guide book it lists a lot of things that I wanted to see such as Carnegi (spelling) hall, the museum of natural history, ummmm other stuff too.

After my swim though I think the first thing I need to do is EAT I am so hungry and no more airline food for atleast a week . . .okay 5 days. I won't be eating red meat though today as its Good Friday so . . . Pancakes for breakfast. YUM

Okay time to ring my Ma and Pa and let them know I am alive and kicking . . . . plus find out how Dad and Kurt are doing in the Tennis Tournament.

Might log on later to let you know how the day was :-)
