The Big Apple

I'm off to the Big Apple today. Taking a few days to myself at our apt. in NYC. I've never been there alone before. Usually quite the crowd with us, so I'm really looking forward to this adventure. It feels a little like my traveling days. I traveled by myself but met so many wonderful people along the way. In fact about 2 years ago I met a friend from Sweden who I met while traveling in Austrailia about 20 years ago. We both wound up with our kids in Central Park and she recognized my voice and asked me if I was Lorraine _________? I said yeah and I almost fell over when she said it's Annika ______! Small world! I find it very interesting that we both met again wearing our rain jackets as we were 20 years ago in a tropical storm on the Whitsunday Islands! It's all good!

Well, my plan is to just try and eat very healthy (that means only ONE stop at Gray's Papaya, the best hot dog place in the world!) , drink green tea in as many cool places as I can, relax, and roam about at will. Of course I will be ever vigilant in my lookout for famous people. Have autograph book and camera ready. I also have a very cool pair of gawker stalker sunglasses. This should be so much easier stalking without kids as I don't have to pack as many snacks and coloring books! Wish me well. If I figure out how to use the computer in my apt., I'll post from there.

P.S. If I'm not back by Tuesday please send out my Homies to get me!
