New York City Vacation, Oct 2008

So it’s been a full year since my last vacation, and the sad thing is I’ve only made a few lame posts since then anyway. It was a great vacation, but what gave the trip to Italy last October was how much I needed it. I took some time off for Thanksgiving, some for Christmas - and since December, I’ve really only taken one day off work.

It’s time for vacation again, and it’s really needed. I am heading out to New York tomorrow morning for just under a week with a good friend from high school. Of course I am really really excited for the break, but more than anything I am excited to get a chance to actually have a lot of free time in Manhattan. I’ve been twice now in the past but haven’t had the chance to do much more than get to ground zero for a few minutes, and then walked down to the water so I could just see the Statue of Liberty way off in the distance. I was there for a few minutes and had to turn around and head back to the airport, leaving me very unsatisfied.

For the short time I had to walk around I snapped a few pictures. I figured I’d dig ‘em up and post em, then over the next week try to remember to post some of my new ones.
