My Trip to New Jersey & New York

August 10th -13th, 2008

The flight sucked on the way up to Newark, NJ from San Antonio. We had a stop in Atalanta and ended up getting stuck there for about 8 hours. The rudest people ever. There was supposedly bad weather in Newark. But once we finally got there and started our class for SDU (Scrapbook Design & You) we were fine. We also got to hear about everyones travel problems and ours wasn't as bad as theirs so Jennie and I felt much better. We had classes all day Monday & Tuesday. So we didn't attempt to go see New York City until after our classes on Tuesday. One of the other Store owners that was there from San Antonio, Patti, had been to New York City once before so she was somewhat our guide. And our friend, Carla, who used to teach at our store, was now at NJ, so she gave us a map and pointed out some places for us to see. We took a bus from our hotel to NYC and made it to Times Square, The Rock, and quite a few other places.
It was loads of fun for the few hours that we were there. I would never want to live in NYC, but it was fun to see. I didn't get to see the Statue of Liberty during the day, but I did get to see her from the top of the Rock, but I wouldn't mind going back for another quick trip just to see more of the city.
