New York City

Well we finally arrived! After a miserable trip we made it. It just happened to be New Years Eve - so we had a long day ahead of us. We got all settled in our little small studio. It is really small, but we like it a lot. Just enough room that we wont go crazy. The nice t.v. helps and the view outside is really great. You can see the east river from our apartment - its great!. So after we got all settled we realized we had a lot of things we needed to buy. We tried to find the nearest Target or Wal-Mart and realized we were in for an adventure. After a long subway ride to Brooklyn we arrived to Target, not the nicest one, but a Target none-the-less. This was our first big shock that prices aren't even close to the same. Ouch.
We returned home to try and pump ourselves up to go explore New York - on New Year's Eve. We arrived in Time Square to realize this wasn't gonna happen. A few million people already beat us there. So we walked around the city a bit, we were admiring the beautiful tree at Rockefeller Center right when they turned off the lights for the night. So sad! We saw a lot of the city before we were exhausted. We stopped in at a Fridays for dinner and the cheapest thing was $18! So we settled for dessert ($9) and then hit up a street vendor for some cheap and yummy food. It was a long day!
