Christmas time In New York City






Hey everybody....every year we go to New York City on a bus trip..Golden Memories tour buses.  The bus leaves at 3 am on Saturday so when we come home from work on Friday it's  push time to get everything done...packing the snacks and water for the way ...also a blanket and pillow, you sleep on the bus and sometimes it gets chilly  and of course the pillow stops your head from bumping the window if you have the window seat.  Even though we sleep on the bus for hours it is best I find to take a nap before driving into Greece at 3 am, don't want to fall asleep driving to the pick up spot.  We get up at 1 ish take showers get ready for the new day  feed the dog , toss him a treat, grab our bags and off we go.

I don't love the trip in the cold and dark at 300 am but find that the shivering does keep me away.:-)

In twenty minutes on the x-press way totally by ourselves we are in the parking lot of a restaurant waiting for out bus to arrive. Better not to fall asleep during your wait or you could wake up in a parking lot full of cars and no one in site.  After a few hours usually three, we wake up to the air brakes of the bus , the light above us going on  and  reading a sign telling us we are in Pennsylvania ..  awesome I have left the state in my sleep. The trip to the bathrooms, mb some breakfast then back on  the bus, to fall asleep on the bus until the sun is shining on your face.

Within seconds you are excited about being at your destination......Christmas in New York City!

And our quest for the day begins.

Lots of people...
Lots of  things to see...
Lots of cold weather..

Lots of excitement.....
Lots of walking...

and lots of talking pictures of everything along the way....lots of fun fun fun
