I leave for New York Saturday, and I'm unbelievably excited. I have wanted to go to New York my entire life, and have been planning this trip since January.
As excited as I am, I'm also a little panicked. My stress list consists of the following.
-I am so out of shape it's not even funny. We are doing a lot of walking, and I know I am going to die. I take great comfort that my sister is super pregnant and will be walking at the same pace.
-Everything in New York is super expensive. What if I didn't save enough money and we find ourselves broke on the fourth day?
-I ordered the Lion King tickets Apr 5th, and still haven't gotten them yet. I called the website I ordered them from and must have efficiently conveyed my panic 'cause they are sending them via Fed Ex, and I should get them in two days. I suppose I could have just said I would pick them up at will call, but I have a deep seeded fear that the web site I ordered them from is a scam, and I'm going to get to will call and they have no tickets for us. I'd love to have them firmly in my paws before I leave.
-Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead I'm sure security is going to be amped up in case of retaliation. I'm convinced I will get a cavity search at the airport. I'll have to remember to wear a decent pair of underwear... Jordan figures it will take about a week for OBL's peeps to formulate a plan of revenge, so come Saturday they will be prepared just in time for our flight to NYC.
Other than that I'm pretty excited. I've got a long list of things that I want to do there, and Jordan is really just hoping we get into the Cash Cab.

I'm so excited for you! Have fun and the cheap whole in the wall resturants are usually pretty good. If anyone in your group has a smart phone have them get Yelp. It's an awesome and very helpful app.
NYC is so much fun... things are expensive there but you can still eat pretty cheap. There is a McDonald's in Times square and they have a dollar menu... China town is fun and you can barter--just don't go there after dark. The subways are super fun and not nearly as expensive as the cabs. You do tons of walking take some good walking shoes. Whenever you see a bathroom, use it--- there is a shortage of bathrooms in NYC. Have a great time- I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
I saw The Lion King in NY years ago and it was AMAZING!!!
