What would it be like to ride atop a red double decker bus, with the cool breeze in your hair, the buildings flying by, and your hand nestled comfortably in his?

Or to climb up the Lady and marvel at the surrounding waters and the genius of its architecture that decades ago have produced? Or to dance to Tony Benett’s “The Way You Look Tonight” on a harbor cruise gliding under draw bridges and between floats? And then maybe at night the Manhattan skyline serenades you while you enjoy a quiet dinner together…

I’m not being melodramatic just because of my sullen, heartsy-fartsy mood lately. I really do want to get away and see the Big Apple because one of my friends have been on a US coast-to-coast trip (and has been posting photos on Multiply too!) and my itchy traveler’s feet are at it again. One of my officemates also just came back from her US vacation and she was telling me how nice it was to be back in NY. Well of course that’s because she went shopping (and who wouldn’t enjoy that?) and went to see 2 musical plays while she was there.

I just think I’ll be at home there, if and when I get the chance to see the NYC attractions themselves. I’ve always thought NY is such a romantic place with a bit of edginess and lots of adventure, which is why I’d love to get lost in there. Well maybe not literally , but a little itinerary would help.
