Home.

After 3 days in Los Angeles & 6 days in New York, it feels good to be home @ San Diego...it seems like ages but it was just 9 days since we been gone.

The first weekends, we were up in LA. It was the first time that Caleb and us were up at mum & dad's place together; dad decided to bring the family to watch the 'Wicked' musical @ Patages Theater. It was a phenomenon musical...love the plot, enjoyed the humor and was enthralled by the set. Highly recommended!

We flew out from LAX on Sunday night. It was supposed to be a 5 hours journey to NYC, instead we only arrived @ JFK airport in the late morning the next day (10 hours journey). All thanks to Virgin airplane mechanical problem and air traffic jam in New York side (the plane gotta detoured to Connecticut for refuel).

No or very little sleep on the plane...thus when we reached our apartment, Ian & I took a nap before venturing out!

Maybe not all parts of NYC but definitely Manhattan = human & vehicle traffic, noise pollution (car horns & police sirens), countless skyscapers, filthy subways...& etc. Despite of all that, we did enjoyed ourself...tired but fulfilling (at least we've been to NYC).

We ate the floppy & huge NY pizza, yummy street hotdogs with mustard, radish & ketchup... we took the confusing subways to everywhere and visited or see most tourist attractions in Manhattan - Central Park, Madison Square Garden, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Roackerfella Building, Union Square, Washington Square Park, Chelsea Market, Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Time Square, Chinatown, etc...all within the 6D/5N!

The highlights of the trip are:

cheap bargains @ Chinatown - street peddlers selling imitation branded goods (bags, sunglasses & watches). 'Rolex? Rolex?' 'Prada? Prada?' It was quite an experience walking through Chinatown!
I wondered why some would buy fake stuff? Isn't it better to buy a nice non-branded bag at the same price as a fake branded bag?

night time at Time Square - people are everywhere even at night...the intersections were filled with pedestrians & cars. The digital billboards are flashing everywhere fighting for attention.


watching 'Drowsy Chaperon' musical at Broadway - you gotta watch a broadway musical in Broadway NY. There's 101 musical/ play available in the theaters along Broadway street but 'Drowsy Chaperon' was recommended by Caleb who has watched the musical twice. I was skeptical at first but we really enjoyed the musical. It was funny and superb...
Highly recommended!

time spent with Ian 24/7 - priceless. Holding hands exploring the city...i LOVE my husband!

We visited or see most tourist attractions (only those which are F.O.C) in Manhattan - Central Park, Madison Square Garden, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Roackerfella Building, Union Square, Washington Square Park, Chelsea Market, Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Time Square, Chinatown,
