So tomorrow we are off to New York for 5 nights. I know this because I got the reminder from Porter Airways in my e-mail. Really, did they think I was going to forget something like this? Anyway the e-mail says I can check in online and print my own boarding passes. I'm going to be leaving the house with tons of extra time in the morning so I'm not too worried about that. I won't be reporting on the shuttle bus that Porter offers as we will just be taking a cab over.

Day one the plan is to check into the hotel and relax a bit first. Find a decent place to have a bit of an early dinner then head for the Empire State Building. I've heard it's good to do it at the start of your trip to give you a good overview of the city. There really isn't any plans for the days after that. I have a list of things we want to try and see but as for how they will all fit in I'm not sure really. I'm bad for trying to pack too many activities so I'm trying to be realistic this time.

Hopefully I'll be able to write and post photos here as we are on the trip. I'm just taking an iPad mini and not my whole laptop so we'll see how that goes.

New York here I come.
