Doing it my way in NYC - Kathy Jefcoats

So when last I left my faithful readers I had made it to Manhattan for my trip of a lifetime. I know many people aspire to Paris or Rome or somewhere equally romantic but I love New York and I can't help it.

When I got to Erin's apartment, she told me that her schoolwork had accelerated and she would have little time to spend with me during my week's stay. She was apologetic but I was thrilled. Suddenly, the entire city opened up to me. I could go where I wanted, when I wanted and not be bound by someone else's schedule or desires. She did take me to Chinatown for supper one night, followed by a midnight ride on the Staten Island ferry the last night the twin spotlights shone in place of the World Trade Center towers.
