Our trip to NYC

We went to New York City for a long weekend last month with our friends Kathy & Tom and Tiffany & Keith. Thanks to Tiffany's air-mile generosity, we all flew first-class round trip for free!! The highlight was definitely Spamalot and the excellent food and friendly service we got everywhere we went. We also went to this overwhelming 9/11 museum that I highly recommend http://www.groundzeromuseumworkshop.com/home.html is the website for it. Intense. We got a good deal on Priceline on our hotel, The Roosevelt. Great location & good service, except the rooms were (probably typical for an "upscale" 3 star in NYC) minuscule. We had fun making "our room is so small" jokes. Here's a sampling-- Our room is so small:
the room number is bigger than the room, you don't need the remote to watch TV, they need to hire midgets for housekeeping, when we got there we thought we were back on the elevator, and my favorite, when you order room service, you can only get hors d'oeuvres. Oh, and for the guys, the small room worked to their advantage, because it made everything else look bigger! I'm sure there were more, but I'll just add them later if they merit repeating and get past the new internal censor I'm trying to employ to impove the mass appeal of my musings.
