My first hour in NYC...

... I promise not to retrospectively blog every hour -- but, this one was pretty good.

First thing -- we land, I didn't check luggage, so I was headed for the front door of LaGuardia when a nice looking gentleman asked me if I needed a cab? I said yes -- he said, "I'll take your bags" -- which, seemed both nice and troubling.

So -- we get outside and I see the taxi stand. I say -- "wait a second, is this a cab?" He says "no a limo" -- so I say "give me back my luggage" -- while taking it from him and head over to the taxi stand. The guy in charge of the taxi stand is laughing and gives me five for figuring out what was going on...

After a nice taxi ride into Manhattan -- I get to our hotel. the Millennium Hilton, right at Ground Zero -- (hubby's a Hotels.com genius, the rate was really good!) -- when I get there, I mention to the front desk person that it was my 1 year anniversary for starting chemo -- and he gave us an amazing upgrade!! A corner suite on the 38th floor -- facing Ground Zero / the river from one set of windows and looking uptown from the other.

I threw my stuff down and took off for a walk -- up Broadway, down toward Battery Park and back to the hotel for a bit...
