As Frank Sinatra used to sing in that beautiful, but horrendously overexposed hit show tune: "New York, New York!"
We're flying there today and apart from putting all our valuables in a safe deposit box in Switzerland before we step onto NY soil, we're all set and extremely excited. We'll be attending our friends, Bob and Julia's wedding and then hopefully meet up with old friends from Taiwan.
Sarah's on Cloud nine over the prospect of going back to one of her favorite places. I'm bracing myself for another opportunity to try and get around the Big Apple in their convenient, simple subway system. Unlike in Asia, where userfriendly colorcoded lines are used, in NY there are lines like IRT, BMT, the SAT, LSD, RSA, USA etc, which operate through downtown, uptown, crosstown, midtown, throughtown and those trains that only stop at alternating stations. only when it's abalone season and somtimes only for passengers holding odd-numbered transfers.
In spite of the above - we are indeed looking forward to a great long weekend!
