Next Stop: NEW YORK CITY
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 First of all, let me join the New Yorkers in their celebration as the New York YANKEES won again the World Series 2009 Baseball Championships...  ..Hep! hep! Hurray!...Well, I used to watch them religiously each and every game they had...just like I did with the now "forgotten" New York KNICKS... ..Ahhhh! those were the days...I lived in NYC (Bronx, NY) for more than 11 years, and I tell you, those were my most memorable years here in the USA...I revisited the City that doesn't sleep last December, 2004 with my only child, and that was that...Now, this coming November 13-16, 2009, I will see my old friends, former co-workers, and maybe a couple of FFF members (like virginnose and maybe Sense_Of_Honey) during the short visit...Ahhh! I'm very excited...I'd like to FEEL that I'm really in America, once more... ...Living here in South Texas is quiet, and warm (too hot during summertime), and it FEELs good to be at HOME again...yeah, NYC will always be my home. I cannot tell for sure, if this is going to be my final trip for the year 2009...Might visit Las Vegas again before the year ends.....Life, is indeed short...We must make the most out of it... ...I DO! (By the way, the picture here was taken in July 1991 (Rockefeller, Manhattan) )

NYC top of my travel list now that I have a couple of friends that have decided to make it their residing state, along with Orlando as far domestic travel goes. Last time I was there was enroute to NJ so never really got to do the tourist deal. Vegas count down starts now  got 22 hours till take off Yipiiiii  Staying at Tahiti Village resort and will be partying at club XS at the encore Saturday night, want to Rendezvous????  Friday I'm booked Your right life is too short! as the reality of it hit me like a 18 wheeler when my 28 year old sister passed away just 3 months ago. And it is one of the reason now I'm really trying to travel when I can financially afford it. Well sounds like you got the rest of the year cut out for you! happy travelling  "See how I looked like some 18 years ago as compared to now?" Yup  thats the look of a distinguised, successfull, pampered, spoiled brat young lady .

Ohhhh wish it was this time last year, I could've met more friends. Safe trip and enjoy. Please say hi and hugs to V and Honey from me. Rockefeller looks pretty much the same. It's really a city that never sleeps. It's quite a noisy and buzzing for the whole day, non-stop traffic and cars beeping at each other all day long. With people working at least 2 jobs to pay for their expensive homes and lifestyle. Food places etc open nearly the whole day. ayayayay madness.

Way to go, Mr. Cali! ..Why don't you meet up with my friend, GEMMA? (handle Malambing2) She is one of the most friendliest female FFF member that I've met...Take care! and have fun! . I'd love too, but will have to wait till the next family oriented vacation, as me the boys got a different agenda . Initialy I had also planned on meeting up with another member that resides in vegas but after being updated with the itenary for the weekend I was not sure if it would be possible. Thanks!!!!

while you are in new york, i am in texas enjoying the company of my kids and grandkids. you still have not experience how it is to have grandkids. i hope so you would one day. its a great feeling to be a grandad. i will be in texas this tuesday night until sunday night, nov 10 to nov 15. i still have places to travel this year. so i am really book for the holiday. if you are one of those that i would consider (which is likely too remote) to love, then you must wait until after the holiday. good luck to your endeavor in new york. hopefully you find him there or he finds you there. so your restless soul could find a niche and then be totally happy!

I still remember when you called me several times, Janey, and each time I called you back it was a public phone... Yup! that's NEW YORK my dear...I wish you are there when I visit..How's your lovey-dovey? I'd to borrow my friend's mobile phone at the time and use public phones.Lovey-dovey is doing good. Although, I want him to go check something out and go to the doctor because he has pains somewhere.
