Wow!!! Your trip will be AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
What a great itinerary. I'm going to keep it until a time when our family can do the same thing, thanks for doing the trip planning for us. It'll probably still be a relevant list of important sites in 10 years, right? At the end you'll have to tell us if there was enough time in each place, or things to skip, etc. How fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, what fun so far! I am about as far away from your location as possible, in Alaska visiting family! Have a great time in Manhattan and if you have time while in the Ground Zero area, be sure to visit the little church which acted as a refuge and staging area for many first responders. It was very moving-take your Kleenex-SO worth it.
