The Internet is for Porn!

Avenue Q

 Now that I have your attention! LOL

The title of my little blog entry today is a line from a song created for and performed in the Broadway musical "Avenue Q". I had the opportunity (but didn't take it) while in New York to go see it. My travelling companion (sister of my heart) Nicole was not interested in seeing it. Being someone of Faith she felt that it was not an appropriate type of play for her. Because the trip to NY was her dream and planned by her, she got to call the shots on many things we did. I could have gone on my own but getting tickets were not too easy as it was/is a popular play. The trip to NY was a blast and it is something that I would love to do again some day. There are a few things that I would like to do again and some that I haven't done yet. One of those would be to go to a performance of Avenue Q. I like to call it "Sesame Street for Adults".

Here is a picture of me in Battery Park, NY with a smaller version of the Statue of Liberty. We had fun that day. We were a bit late to take the ferry to Liberty Island to see the real statue but this was good enough! hehee

I had so much fun while there. We stayed in a nice boutique style hotel; our Concierge was awesome! He was so nice and fixed any problem we had instantly. He was also a great source of information if we wanted to do anything.

We toured the shopping areas, the World Trade Centre memorial, Times Square, rode the subway, shopped at Macy's, enjoyed a performance by an award winning choir in Brooklyn, saw two great Broadway plays, checked out landmarks made famous in several movies, rode the Staten Island ferry, did a carriage ride tour of Central Park and watched the St. Patty's day parade. I took almost a thousand pictures during my week there. So much to see and do that we wanted to stay much longer. It is a place worth going to visit. I will go back one day.

Me with my new jacket I bought the day before!

On our way home we stopped in Chicago for a couple days. It was fun too. We woke up the morning after our arrival to a snow storm. Being Canadian the snow didn't bother us at all. I think we had some subliminal  inclination that it might get cold because the two of us went shopping and bought ourselves new winter jackets that came in handy the next day!

While in Chicago we did the Lincoln Park Zoo, drinks at a Blues club, dinner at Carmine's (they had a wall of photos showing the famous people who have dined there through the years), and spent a day at the Navy pier in the amusement park. The rides were shut down due to the snow but the interior area was huge and had a lot to see and do for families. We had the opportunity to go to a jousting show at Medieval Times. The food wasn't that great but the show was fun.

We were only in Chicago for 3 days but we did a lot! We had wanted to visit the Oprah show and Harpo Studios but we arrived during a long weekend and they were closed so no tours or shows being done.

One day soon I want to take my partner to NY and a few of the other places I have traveled. He has not done any travelling outside of Canada. I have been from coast to coast in North America and there is much to see and enjoy.

Looking forward to the next trip!
