Yes, I am off on another adventure. This time my bags are packed and I’m ready to go walk the concrete jungle where dreams are made…of.   Can’t wait to be in the city that never sleeps, cause I dont sleep much either, so I think I will feel right at home.  (notice all the New York song lyrics that are sneaking their way into this entry?)

I am off to New York to do my Ninang duties and accompany my sister when she brings my nephew to college in Michigan.  We will do a side trip to Chicago and see what kind of mischief we can weave in the Windy City.  And then after a couple of days in NYC, a short train ride to NJ this time to help my brother settle in to college.  After that…who knows? Or you might be saying who cares?

This trip is very special because for the first time in my life I will be spending my birthday in NY with my siblings and we’re watching the SF Giants play the NY Yankees.  We will also celebrate the birthday of my youngest sister.  This is the first NY trip where we will be complete.  It is also a much needed bonding time considering all that’s happened in the last 12 months.

This trip also means that the Travel Poor Diet (see earlier entry) will once again be in action.  The diet combined with the new Me Project should prove productive and effective.  Am already looking forward to all the steps I will be taking armed with my brand new pedometer.

So stay tuned, for tales of fortune, and knowing Inday, misfortune, as she conquers Broadway (as an audience member!), Wall Street (as tourist), 5th Avenue (as window shopper), Central Park (as walker) and so many more NY corners.  I promise you there will be lots of photos that will embarrass my family, and delight everyone else.

But that’s all for now…bow.
