NYC was everything I expected, plus more. I didn't think I could have so much fun. I love my girls so much. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. And I'm so glad we decided to drive, just for the pure fact that we got to spend extra time together. We jammed to some good tunes, courtesy of my iPod. We also discovered that we HATE PA (please pronounce it Pa, like Papa). No offense, but the people we encountered there were idiots. Both Subways we stopped at didn't know how to make sandwiches correctly and each sandwich from both Subways had a funky taste. So, if ever in PA, do not eat Subway. Also, I annoyed Tricia when she was on the phone with her BF by driving on the rumble strips. Muwahahahaha! So, we got there a little behind schedule because the traffic into the city was crazy and we ended up leaving Ohio about an hour later than planned because we had to run misc errands before we left. Anyway, I started getting stressed about driving when we hit The Oranges/Newark in Jersey since I've driven there many times before and that is usually where I start to get stressed out because Jersey traffic sucks too. I really thought I was going to hypervenilate. Getting 10 lanes of traffic to merge into the Lincoln Tunnel was definitely the worst though. But, I did it like a champ and I knew where I was after we got out of the tunnel so it was cool. Then, I was stressed about the room situation. Originally, it was just going to be me and Katie so we only bid for a 2 person room on priceline.com. But then Tricia and Lauren decided to come, so I called the hotel MONTHS ago and asked them to upgrade us but the person I talked to wasn't any help at all and couldn't even tell us if we lucked out and got a 4 person room instead, which apparently happens because I read reviews....anyway, they were able to upgrade us and we never had a problem sneaking them into our room. It was great. We got a 3 star hotel one block from Times Square for $94 per person for 3 nights...you can't beat that. I love cheating the system!....to be continued....

(I'll update more later cause this is going to take me a while....and I feel like shit. NYC kicked my ass...)
