oh New York, New York…

I’m home from New York, and settling back into my comfortable little world. Below are some snapshots of my trip… just makes ya feel like you were there doesn’t it?


Here I am on the subway at the 42nd street stop.

a little while later, we’re walking thru Manhattan, and look… there in the distance, on the other side of that cab I think its, a Famous Writer Rob Byrnes.


or maybe its not and I was just all caught up in the excitement of the city.

Continuing thru the night, we stopped for dinner at a fabulous place in Chelsea that reminded me of a Shoney’s Big Boy restaurant of the early 1960’s.

Finishing dinner, and with a few hours before my return train to Long Island, we popped into a little bar for a drink (or five). Since I was indeed a tourist, I asked this gentleman…

to snap a picture of us. He promptly turned into a raging and bitchy queen but I thanked him anyway.

My time in the city was drawing to a close, so we pulled out our transit card…

and I jumped on the train to the hotel and the seminar that would consume the rest of my time in New York.

I sincerely apologize for not posting while on this trip, but as you can see, my actual time in Manhattan was rushed and glamourous. Once I headed back to the seminar in Woodbury, NY (Still rushed, not glamourous) I was in meetings, meetings, meetings, the entire time. On top of that, the hotel did NOT have a Wi-Fi network available to me and with no transportation, I was not about to hoof it the 1/8 mile to the borders and risk them not having one either. So I opted, to crawl into bed, dreaming of living in NY and being fabulously wealthy. Which it turns out, I could be… As proved by someone at the seminar. He made over $500,000.00 in commission alone last year. I think I have reason to be inspired… if not for myself, then for my economy!

More from the front to come.
