Hello from New York City.  Hello from our midtown hotel room that cost 4 times the amount we usually pay and is approximately the size of a shoe box.  A toddler sized shoe box.

So far it has been a great trip.

Snuggled up to Adam for 5 hours in the friendly skies was not bad.  We shared a pair of headphones and watched CNN reporters have fun with their touch screens predicting the election results.  We also watched part of a DVD from my trusty compe`. 

At JFK, Adam navigated the hired car drivers who wanted to overcharge us and led us to a yellow checkered cab.

The last time I was in NYC (ten years ago) the cabs all had battering rams on the front.  They don't any more but their general battering ram philosophy hasn't seemed to change much.

We checked into our shoe box and headed to Hell's Kitchen in search of some food.  We settled on a little Italian restaurant where I ate my fill of the most amazing penne arrabbiata.  From there we walked to Times Square and basked in the mega wattage.

 

We saw a little taste of home on the big screen.  Our man Dino Rossi.  They haven't declared a winner in the Washington senate race yet.  But they haven't counted my vote yet.  (I know because I just mailed it in late Monday.)

This final picture is for our children:  a foppish dandy.

Tip tip and a cheerio.

We love and miss our babies.
