Baldy - Go to NYC it is amazing. We go every July (except last year) and have seen so much. After 4 years of going for 5 days a trip I have not even scratched the surface of the city.



I never rent a car I always use mass transit there. Busses, Taxi's Subways, Trains.. they all make up what is New York. I love the Subways I love the energy of NYC. Its crazy, after I leave I feel like I am missing something for a few days afterwards.



We stay with a great Aunt who owns a 8 unit brownstone in the Park Slope Section of Brooklyn. We were on top of the World Trade Center in July of 2001 2 months before it was destroyed. I always look at those pictures we hove from that day and feel like something was taken away from me. I told my 10 y/o son he did something most 10 y/o kids will never do. Visit the top of a famous building that does not exist anymore.



He has been up on the Empire State building and we hope to go to the Statue of Liberty one day. He has walked the halls of the Museum of Natural History the paths of the Bronx Zoo. I cannot wait to go again we hope to explore more of Brooklyn this time up.



One thing I have to say about the Rotary Revolution was that it introduced me to a City I never would have considered going to. Downtown Indy looked very interesting. We are hoping to go back next year for the Formula 1 race and stay a few days and explore.



Tell us how the twin cities are take lots of pictures. If you see prince tell him I said Hi!. LOL!!



Have fun!! Its a blast going to different places.
