New Jersey - New York

Here begin the travel adventures of Nina and Elana: Europe, Middle East and hopefully Africa! We hope you enjoy our travel blogs as much as we enjoy writing them, so here is the first of many installments.

Today we leave New Jersey for Warsaw, Poland after a lovely three day trip to visit my mothers cousin near New York City. During the day we took a quick bus into Manhattan to visit the big apple. Although we have both been to New York about 10 years ago, we still had a fabulous time cruising Times Square, viewing the Metropolitan Museum of Art, eating in a couple of lovely Kosher Delicatessen's and walking through Central Park. We also went to view the memorial site for 9/11 which is under construction for a five building project to surround the freedom tower.

To top of an already fabulous begining, Nina won the lottery at the play RENT (a lottery held ever evening one hour before the show) and we got 2nd row seats for $20 a piece!!! The play was beyond words fantastic and very moving. We are going to invest in the sound track upon our return. We noted JUST how many tourists are in New York at this time.

Anyways gotta run and catch our train.
