Only spent two days here, but it sure was worth every minute. I cannot wait to go back one day…Pier 39 was extremely fun and just watching the seals out on the docks was damned adorable. Driving up and down the streets in the cabs was like being on a roller coaster at some points…it was fun as anything. The architecture is beautifully unique and there is so much that you can do to stay occipued. You will never be bored.

right outside NYC for many years and then living in Brooklyn for a few years….you tend to get used to all the places possbile that are either touristy or just a unique place to check out. South Street Seaport is awesome! In 1998 my best friends family and mine left out of the port on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Bermuda Cruise, that was one of the first times I had realized what an awesome little area that is. Definitely a must see for locals or tourists.

and in my horrible truth, only one time I really wanted to go. All the other times was because my parents wanted to go and check out some new stuff that had been related to some of the Italians in my family coming to America. From what I remember it was a good historical place to see and learn about especially if you have family that ventured over from another country.

No words can express the pain I still feel for what happened practically four years ago. I cannot even write anything about “Ground Zero” – I become lost for words…I just remember all the suffering my city has been through and the memories come from the back of my head. I will say this, just so I don’t bring everyone down – you can learn a lot from one short hour visit to the site. Histroy and explanations…the fallen’s names and well, it can all be very interesting.

Where to start? I decided to go to Savannah with my husband back in the Spring {for his Spring break} – I am so glad that we went there instead of anywhere else at the time. Main reason being I went was for me to get a better look at what has been known to be “the most haunted city in america” {soon after I found out otherwise}, it was a great experience for me, because of the history behind the city. Savannah is the eldest city in Georgia. The city roams with spiritual activity and many ghosts haunt the streets. I was extremely happy to have visited such a fantastic place in America’s history. River Street has a lot to offer…good food, awesome shops, the Riverboat cruise and many old buildings. We stayed in our first B&B – The Green Palm Inn. That place alone has much history behind it. It was not a haunted B&B {haunted B&B’s are way more pricey}. The owners of the inn were extremely friendly and helpful and always welcomed us everytime we entered. While visiting all the places that were on our list for ‘hauntings’ we hit up “The Pirates House” – part of that building is the oldest building in Georgia. We stood in the back dining room and waited for the action to happen. Filled with ghosts, this place will have sceptics believing in no time. We had an awesome waiter that showed me around after hours {I had told him that I was becoming a paranormal investigator}, he gave us a very informative history about the “Pirates House” and we were set for exploration. http://www.thepirateshouse.com/history.html
Well I have so much more I can say about Savannah, but I do not want to make this so long. If you get to Savannah, make sure you check out a ghost tour, Mercer House, Pirates House, Colonial Park Cemetary and so much more. If you like Victorian/Gothic infulences, you will love this city! It is built of beautiful architecture, history, culture and friendly faces.

Just what it says! It was a pretty decent museum based around some pornographic intake….still pretty educational. High prices, but it was still pretty neat. Not so much more I can say, you will have to check it out yourself – http://www.museum-erotica.dk/uk/index.htm

One of the places I frequent most and there is tons of shopping, book stores and not to mention my favorite book store and possibly favorite store in all the world – Strand {18 Miles Of Books}. Irving Plaza is right down the street on Irving Place, across the street from PC Richards, I have been to many a shows there and the old ballrooms are definitely the most fun places to see a good concert. There is a huge Barnes and Noble within the square that sometimes will get some pretty popular artist appearances and then of course there is Virgin Megastore…you can get lost inside there.

Hours and hours of wait time for anytime of the year….but way worth every second of the waiting process. I will be a little less inclined to write about museums, but when I come up with more words for a description…I will be back to edit this.

I was in here for 3 hours…I will be back to write some more about it.

I was going to be happy for everlasting with my fiance…now almost husband. We had such an amazing time in London in May 2004 and we were on the London Eye at the most perfec time of the day/night – it was practically dusk and by the time we were at the top of the ride we had some of the most awesome shots of “Big Ben” and the clouds and sunset were just amazing. This ride is one of the best things to do when you just want to relax and take some pictures of the inner city.
