It has taken me awhile to get this post up this morning. I have been a watching the news about the plane crash in New York yesterday, and been so thankful to have had a safe flight home! My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of this tragedy.
On Sunday, I flew to New York City with my sister Robin and her son Austin. Since Robin is a flight attendant for Northwest/Delta, I was able to fly on a companion pass. We flew out of Memphis, which is a little over 3 hours from here and were lucky enough to get moved to first class! It was my first time (and possibly the last) time to fly first class! It was a great experience!
This is a picture of Austin and me before takeoff.
As soon as we checked in, my son Jonathan met us at our hotel near Times Square and we took off to visit Chinatown. Jonathan usually doesn't like to have his picture made-I took this one when he wasn't looking! We were in a pastry shop.
It took us the whole time there, but we finally figured out the New York City subway system. Everyone was so nice-guess it was obvious we were tourists with the cameras in our hand. This is Robin and Austin waiting to get in a subway.
We did lots in New York City including visiting the Museum of Natural History. Robin named this picture of the two of us front of the ostriches "Birds of a Feather." Pretty cute name! LOL
We had to make a few pics here-all of us liked the reflection in the glass case. Yes that is Jonathan in the background. He is about 6 feet tall-he doesn't get his height from me!
And finally, this is Robin posing with a tiger! This picture shows what a drama queen she is! In fact, she was brought on stage at Altar Boyz, an off Broadway show that we saw. Everyone in the audience thought she was actually part of the play! 
We saw so much in NYC and had a blast. We all made it home safely and are still speaking to each other. I have lots more to share but I don't want to make my post too long! More later!Thanks for stopping by today.

Hi Diane!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got home safely. That plane crash near Buffalo was such a tragedy.
It sounds like you had such a nice visit to NYC with your sis and nephew! I'm sorry we couldn't meet up this time, but it was such short notice, and this week was one filled with dentist, eye doctor, etc, appointments for me. Hopefully next time!
Looking forward to seeing the other places you were able to visit.
Tell Jonathan he is too handsome to be camera shy! :)
Hugs, Pat
New York is one place I have never been. If I ever get to go, it will probably have something to do with baseball.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
What fun...I love New York! Looks like you all were treated like celebrities or at least had as much fun as some.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Big Apple experiences!

ReplyDeleteLoretta
Looks like you all had a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteCute pictures of all of you, even the "candid camera" shots! ;-)
XO,

Hi Diane...oh, yes...I am so sad for the plane that crashed...and even though you were on Delta...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you returned home safe & sound...your son is good looking man! ;-) Bo
Diane,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you had! I know you probably have a lot more photo's to share & I can't wait. I love NYC. Have only been there once...
I too have heard of the plane crash and I am praying for all the family & friends of those poor casualties. I am especially sad about Beverly, the widow of someone who died in 911. She was flying to his hometown to honor his birthday. How heartbreaking...
Have a good weekend and thanks for sharing your good time with us.
xoxo

looks like a fun trip. First Class? Some people have all the luck.
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all had such a nice trip and a safe return home. In spite of all the hassles involved in flying these days, it is enriching and worth it to travel to exciting cities like NYC, which next to New Orleans and San Francisco is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Valentine's Day!

It surely sounds -- and looks -- like you had a wonderful time, Diane.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of our trip to New York, although our flight was not as memorable as yours. It was a nightmare of delays and hassles, but had a happy ending.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your trip.
Best wishes for the happiest Valentine's Day ever!
Good morning Diane, I was excited when I saw your post today. You were all having so much fun and to think it began with first class seats. You look beautiful in the photo with your cute nephew. In fact all of your photos are great. Your son is handsome and tall and you and your sister look alike in many ways but mostly your sweet smiles. How fun it is to ride the subways and a challenge.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Love...Jeanne
Great pictures...it does look like everyone was having fun. And there is just so much great stuff to do there!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you navigated the subways!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving catching up with your NYC posts!
