Weekend Relief

Lately I have started making a point of going away somewhere every weekend. It all started one Sunday when I headed into NYC to see the 3pm showing of Sister Act on Broadway - WOW! It was really great, totally recommend it. It was hilarious and the music was great. The following weekend I spent a Saturday in NYC with Tim and a friend of theirs who was visiting from Mexico. We took the open top bus up to Central Park and then downtown to the World Trade Center site which we were hoping to visit but apparently you have to get tickets online beforehand so instead we walked part way along the Brooklyn Bridge after having a deli lunch (an experience in and of itself). The deli was crazy busy. The bathroom was down two flights of stairs and it was very hard to work out where you order, where you pay and where you collect your food. Not really the kind of place I want to return to. After the bridge Tim and I caught a taxi back to Port Authority while Tim's friend carried on on the bus. Tim headed back to Caldwell and I tripped around to different stores scoping out the buying options before Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving). The next day was spent shopping at Target with Nancy and the following sunday I took a drive to Brandon Beach with Sue, collected some bits from their beach house, took a stroll along the boardwalk and had some pretty decent Italian (there seems to be a tendency towards over saucing food over here).
