New York

I traveled to New York July 10- July 16, 2007 to go to the Dispatch Concerts at Madison Square Garden. They are one of my favorite bands that broke up years ago. When I heard they are doing a reunion concert in New York I was elated, bought tickets for all 3 nights and booked my flight to New York!


It is REALLY hot in NY...like 40 degrees humid hot....My second flight into Newark was delayed by 2 hours, so that sucked, but otherwise no problems.


The hostel is so great...I really scored on this one! The Big Apple Hostel is right in the middle of Times Square, next door to an awesome deli(which will feed me 3 square meals a day) and is clean above all! I requested a quiet room at the back, bottom bunk and female dorm, not expecting to actually get it, yet I did!

There's a TV room, outdoor deck/garden area and kitchen. I just got in at 8pm (New York time) so I checked out times square a bit and then grabbed some dinner at the deli next door. I am so tired so am heading up to read and go to sleep to be ready for a busy day tomorrow!
