It’s no secret that my favorite time of year is October! Forget Christmas and Thanksgiving, the month of October by far wins the coolest month of the year award. Why you ask? For starters the weather changes, for the cooler! I’ve expressed my hatred for the heat well enough in this blog, so we won’t go into that. It’s the time of year in Vegas where you can drive with your windows down at 2 in the afternoon and not sweat your lunch off. Oh yeah and my birthday tends to run around this time of year….
I have a great group of friends that know how to party and treat yours truly to a good time! My birthday was on the twenty first which fell conveniently enough on a Sunday, but due to work complications I decided to celebrate early and go out Friday night. Kahunaville at the Ti was the designated party station for the evening. And from what I can vaguely remember from the night, I had a pretty good time! Alcohol is best taken in moderation and birthdays are the worst exception to that rule. Spending a night(which I might add, ended at a sad 12:30am-ish) highly intoxicated, sequentially means spending a morning in a whirlwind of splitting headaches and toilet hugging.
NEW YORK CITY
I’ve been back from New York for a good two weeks now, and it’s still all I can think about. Everything about my visit was memorable. From my more than welcoming hosts to walking the streets of Manhattan. Anthony and I spent most of the weekend away from the big apple visiting family and friends. Long Island is a beautiful little place. Growing up in Southern California and Las Vegas, I never got to experience so much green. Homes in Long Island are like the little make-believe houses you think of in your head that everyone wants to live in. White picket fence with a big yard, or maybe a small stream in your backyard shaded with a blanket of leafs that are changing color. The buildings were reeking of age and background story, it was a nice change of environment.
The city was everything I thought it would be. Perhaps not as busy as I initially anticipated, but full of activity nonetheless. Pretzel, hot dog and godknowswhat stands on nearly every corner, angry taxi cab drivers honking their horns and 2 or 3 sirens going off somewhere around the next department store. We got to the city late in the morning, skies were still indecisive with a few drizzles every so often. We stepped off the subway a block or two away from one of my “must see” sites. The 3 story H&M store that had come so highly recommended! And boy it didn’t disappoint. Downtown, Time-square, Central Park and Canal Street made their way into our agenda that day. With shopping bags in hand and a jam-packed memory card of pictures we made our trek back to Long Island for some home made meat balls! The Big Apple is considerably larger than Las Vegas and in all probability would take more than just a Saturday to witness just half of what there is to see. I can’t wait till my next visit!
iPod Nano
