nyc and no pants after dark #6

It seems that I've been doing a lot of traveling recently, but I figure it is now or never, right? Because, if all goes well, and my positive thinking works, I should be fully employed in the next 2 months.

I initially planned this trip to NYC because I was hating LA, and wanted to see if NYC was the place for me. Well, I had a blast, but fortunately for me and my wallet, I have no desire to move there at the moment.

The trip was amazing and busy and I sort of feel like I spent the whole weekend on the subway. The first 2 nights I stayed with my friend Anna from high school and did lots of walking around and free activities that included Central Park and the Met. My friend's Robert and Kate were also in town; Kate was passing through on her way to Boston for work, and Robert was there to see us. We make quite a team, the three of us, so it was an absolute blast. I also saw my other friend Kate who lives in NYC and lives a very glamorous life working for a fancy fashion magazine's website.

I cant even really remember everything that I did, but I did eat A LOT and drink a lot and did not take enough pictures. Though I was able to document one more outfit for my No Pants After Dark experiment when I went over to Kate's very cute apartment for dinner and Champagne. Although this post says it was #6, I am probably onto #12 or so, but because they weren't properly documented, I cannot count them...Must be more diligent.

The trip was super fun and flew by and I can't wait to go back for another visit!

I leave for NYC tomorrow morning, and am so excited I can hardly form the words to describe it. The trip is going to full of lots of reunions from Paris friends to Portland friends. YAY!

I've been feeling weird and sickly this whole week and am hoping it is gone the minute I set foot on the East Coast.

There are a million things that I want to do, but I feel like not nearly enough time to do them all. I haven't been to the city since I was a junior in high school, which is a rather embarrassing confession. Because of that, I know it's going to feel like a totally new city; it is always a different experience when you go somewhere as an adult, and when you visit an stay with friends. I am so excited to do all the silly and wonderful tourist things: walking the Brooklyn Bridge, wandering through Central Park, art galleries, a visit to Barney's...As well as the secret destinations that my local friends will take me too.

I will try my best to keep you updated, but most likely I will be running around like a crazy person!
