The trip

WOW. That's all I can say. WOW. Such a majestic and awesome city......From start to finish it was magical. New York is such a large, vast, "crowded" city, especially this time of year. But there was an air of excitement and good will among everyone we met. I can honestly say, I don't think I saw or encounted a gruff person while we were there.

Saw everything on my list that was highlighted as a "must see" and then some.
The Broadway shows "Lion King" and "Mary Poppins" were truly magnificent. The Rockettes were, well what can I say. 30 beautiful, shapely women all together dancing, singing and entertaining!

I would have to say the highlight of the trip was going to church Sunday at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Truly amazing. Noon service, completely packed. The choir of 285 count sang 3 songs after praise and worship and another during the offering. Pastor Cymbala brought a compelling message on how God can "unmess our messes".
Terry came away saying, "I think that is what heaven is going to be like". It was truly a worship experience. Everyone was very friendly but when worship began, it was just us and the Lord.
We will definitely go back and especially back to the Brooklyn Tab.

My Christmas present was well spent, well enjoyed and I loved it.
