Visit the Big Apples on weekends

We used to live in a small town in Connecticut, which is about 45 minutes away from the Big Apple. We would take a train downtown on Saturday morning and spent the weekend there browsing through the museums, galleries and sometime did some window shopping. We would bring sandwiches in the brown bags or buy the hotdogs from the street vendors for lunch.

The trains did not run on Sundays, so we usually got home on Saturday evening or Monday morning. We were cheapskate budget travelers, we never stay at any of the New York Hotels. :-)We either had a day trip without staying overnight or we put up at friends who live in the city.

May have to postpone the move for a month or two

We expected that it will take a month or two for me to recuperate after the surgery. And I properly can’t carry anything heavy for a while.  Look like the move to IL has to be postponed another month or two.

Though we have sold some furniture few months ago, but we still have some electronics items and furniture to get rid of before the move. May have to put up an ad and do a yard sale after the surgery.
