the concrete jungle {october 27, 2022}

This view never fails to bring a never-ending smile and a full heart. T knows to book an A seat for me and even if the seat is close to the wing and the window is a little off kilter, I will twist around to get that photo of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the approach into LaGuardia.


The three bridges (L to R): Brooklyn (can't see that one too well), Manhattan, and Williamsburg. Use the mnemonic device BMW to remember the order. That works for me because that's what I drive.

The approach into LGA: the runway juts out into the East River, Riker's Island is to its right.

Time for the happy dance!


The New York City subway system opened 118 years ago today. The rapid transit subway's formal opening went from City Hall to 145th Street.

The only time we were in a car was in the Lyft to and from the airport. We got around  the city with the $33.00 week's unlimited ride passes and by walking approximately 10 miles/day. I so appreciate comfortable shoes and the public transportation systems in big cities.

  1. We changed planes at LGA last week, the approach and landing were amazing. Flew over it yesterday - on the way to Boston.
