New York City Or Bust!
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York
I’m about to head out the door as I post this. I’m flying out to see my girlfriend in New York City. I haven’t seen her since that night on Aug 9th when we said goodbye. She left early morning on the 10th and has been gone since. She moved to NYC for a fall internship at Harper’s Bazaar. She’s having a great time and loves the city and the internship.
It’s been over a month and a half since we’ve been together though. We talk plenty be it writing letters, sending email, chatting on AIM every day or the Sunday night phone call we have every week. Still, it’s not enough! You can’t have a relationship just with words. Kissing her, holding her hand while we walk, curling up on the couch to watch a movie or just giving her a hug goodnight; there has to be the physical connection there too.
Anyhoo, Saturday is my birthday so I’m lucky enough to get to fly out to be with her. I’m heading out this afternoon so we get all Friday and Saturday together. I’ll be flying back Sunday afternoon so there really won’t be time to anything.
So far we’re planning to see all the usual junk; Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Metropolitan Museum, visit ground zero and try to get tickets to see David Letterman.
That’s the plan anyways. We’ll just have to see how much time there really is and how much walking my ol’ body can handle!
See you later folks! I’ll be back Sunday!

I hope you have a great time! I can’t imagine going that amount of time without my fiancee. Good luck getting all that tourist stuff in! It will be a challenge, that’s for sure.
