Home Sweet Home

Finally back in Toronto last night.  The trip back wasn't as long as the trip going to New York - it was two hours shorter, so it still took about 13 hours.  Though the train ride was long, it was a relief not to have to look for parking and move the car every night.  Looking for parking in Manhattan is a nightmare!

It was a good short vacation - did not do much shopping this time but rather went around the city a lot.  Went uptown and walked not-quite-in-Central Park. Went to the Apple store which is always crazy full of people - they were going to launch the new iPad the next day - gotta check that out - when all the hoopla dies down.  This was the first time that I actually walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.  It was a good 20 minute walk, lots of people on the bridge.  On that one day been to the three boroughs - Manhattan - homebase, Brooklyn - walked Brooklyn Heights for the first time too - and incidentaly saw someone with an iPad - he must been one of the first to own one as it was only launched the day before; and Queens - had a late lunch at a Thai place.  Took the subway majority of the time - the New York subway makes me claustrophobic everytime, especially when I look down and realize its multi-levels and think how far below I am.  And oh yeah, when in New York I never miss to have dimsum at Golden Unicorn in Chinatown.

After my New York "getaway" which I was spoiled with, with great weather.....here I am back in Toronto with not so great weather - it is 10 degrees colder! reminding me I'm back in Canada.  As I was on the train ride back - I can feel bad colds starting to creep into my system and - voila! - I wake up this morning with a major headache that Tylenol couldn't get rid off and yes - bad colds finally made its way into my system.

Home Sweet Home.
