Quirky conversations about vacationing, family, and personal experiences as a traveler on her life journey. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Last Day in N.Y.C. Our last day in New York City did not disappoint! Here I will depart momentarily from today's trip to tell a funny story involving my friend, Tonya. I couldn't take the chance of that. I would like to state for the record, that if Tonya began breaking out some sort of Kung-fu moves on the unsuspecting 12 year olds, I would have jumped in. We made the ferry!

This sweet lady demonstrates the art of tagliatelli making - she's been doing this for 71 years.

Why is it that way? There...

I put my daughter on a plane bound for college in another country. My husband of 23 years had to take a job 3 states and over 1,000 miles away. People will surprise you. I am worse than I ever thought.
