On our way!

So finally THE trip which I began to plan last March is on it’s way to beginning.  By beginning I mean we are in route.  Just left Charlotte, NC a couple of minutes ago and boy am I stoked! 

The last time Omar and I flew was when we visited Cuba in 2009.  To be honest, it can barely be considered a true plane flight, I think it may have been 35 minutes, including taxi-ing to the gates.  But alas here we are NYC bound! 

We (more me I think) are really looking forward to going back.  I have been to quite a bit of cities, large and small but Manhattan you make my heart melt.  Every thing about it makes me school girl giggle; the shopping, the boroughs, sky scrapers, the REAL winter!!!  I already know what I want to do when we get in to the city--- shop of course :0)  But only because we decided  to not pack too much and make run for all the splendid treasures I have my heart set on buying.  LOL!  I already know that I want to make a stop at DR.Jays!  I am hoping I find the boys some fresh kicks.

o0oo0o0o0ohhhhh my boys.  I have not even been a full day yet and I am already heart aching for them.  Yes Abuela is taking good care of them as they are driving her and grandpa nuts (no doubt), but we have never vacationed without them.  Although bringing them to NYC was never an option.  For many reasons, first it really is not a double stroller kind of spot.  Getting in and out of subways I can only imagine would be a nightmare!  Plus for all I know they may sneak into a secret room in China Town (it could happen).  Last but not least, we took this vacation to celebrate our anniversary.  FIVE years since we tied the knot people!!!  Isn’t that amazing?  I cannot believe it either, wow that Omar is one lucky guy (hee hee).

So many things we have experienced in those five short years together, good, bad, ups, lows you name it!  Currently we are experiencing another first, the lady sitting across the aisle from Omar is snoring--- SUPER loud!  But yes, it amazes me how much people mesh into each other.  Obviously we have our own very unique way of being, but we have picked up so many of each other’s habits, likes and dislikes.  Another first:  Omar has been reading during the flight!  He is loving that Jay-Z book Decoded.  I began to read it too, but have found it difficult to pry it from his hands.  Hopefully I will be able to read it once he has finished with it.  At least I can blog via Windows Live Writer.  Once we get to the hotel and are settled in I may or may not upload to the actual blog.  It all depends on how sluggish we go about our first day in the city. 

Wo0o0o0o0o0o0 in the words of my oldest son!  We are only 30 minutes from landing!!!  Pretty darn excited about our anniversary dinner on Friday, catching a show, Central Park, and all the other glam!  Let me start powering down before I get scolded by the flight attendant.  More to come. . .
