NYC The Journey Begins

I arrived in NY today. Our flight was only an hour late because we had to circle and wait out a storm. I took a bootleg car service
to Sarah's house. Sarah and Sabia were home and we got busy getting dressed to go to cousin Jane's for a dinner. Jane
lives in a fab co-op in the upper east side. We had dinner on her rooftop. Not only was Jane there but so was cousin Bill, his
wife Sheila (we got a copy of her new book) Bills children, Zak and Jed and Sally's children Thomas and Alex Elson. My Dave
also joined us. We had a blast catching up on life. Tomorrow Sabia and I are going for a tour of the UN and lunch with one
of Sarah's friends, CECE! Yeah, I'm too pooped to pop so I guess I will download the photos tomorrow. I promise to behave at
the UN and not harass or antgonize any of the representatives from countires whose politics I don't like..
Oh, on another front I did not have to pay for my checked bags today, since I bought my ticket before the policy went into effect. Delta still serves sodas and peanuts without a charge but everything else costs you $$, including watching movies. Good
thing I brought my ipod, but I think I need a book for the Israel flight.
