Sounds like you had a wonderful trip Leanne.
I live in Ohio and have made the trip to NYC several times. It is a great place to visit. My second or third trip there I ran into what seemed like half the population of the town I live in. Every time I would turn around there seemed to be someone I knew coming towards me. Back in thoes days it was nerve wracking to say the least. New Yorkers seem way too busy or way too cool to care about what you are doing. Go have fun!
