So glad to see this year's trip! I have been looking forward to it. I love your pictures and hearing your perspective on things. One of these days we'll get to NY. It looks so wonderful. I'm sure your son would've loved that chocolate cake! I can't wait to hear how the rest of the trip went. I love hearing about the restaurants you try. I'm going to try to take my husband to Teak next year while we're down. Thank you for all the work you put into these reports! You and your family are lovely.
Will put that NYC trip on the bucket list. Now, if only there would be a direct flight from PIT I could seriously consider it lol.
Wow, talk about a day full o highs & lows! You rolled well with it, good show (always wanted to say that btw).
Ring is absolutely divine! Love that style of setting too, easy to wear. As if Tom needed to up his game. That main is raising the husband bar. So nice to see a couple still romantic long into their marriage.
That concierge was certainly old school, most do little more than sell entertainment tickets & make dinner reservations these days & a lackluster performance at that. Looks the Plaza is still living up to it's stellar reputation.
Had to be scary thinking of the logistics involved to work it all out. Nice to read you scrambled to make it happen & didn't let it ruin your trip. Hooray
Your ring is so beautiful! What a sweet, romantic gesture. I'm so sorry your lovely day hit a snag. I was glad to hear you had a sympathetic, helpful concierge and that you were able to recover with such a nice dinner. Gorgeous pics, too.
Tiffany's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite too!
Love, love, love your new additions, especially the ring. How romantic of Tom!
OMG! I would have been completely panicking about the flight being cancelled
Beautiful ring. That hubby of yours is definitely a keeper
Does Tom have a brother.....
Jk
Does Carole have a sister...
So glad the concierge was able to help you get everything sorted so easily! How nerve wracking!
What a sweetheart Tom was to surprise you! Your ring is just beautiful!
Your ring is gorgeous!! You are truly a wonderful ambassador for NYC. I've been there, but I don't like big cities and really never have the urge to visit again- until this TR!
Love the ring and the best thing I can say is you and Tom deserve each other...I love you guys such a great couple.
Glad you were able to get everything sorted out and thank goodness you got the best concierge.
Looking forward to hearing about how you spent the bonus days in NY.
So true
You can never have enough bling
What you showed is gorgeous!
What an eventful day. Thanks for sharing it with us!
YEA! YEA! I have been patiently waiting your trip report! I so enjoy your reports. I knew you should be home by now. I have read all your reports and finally talked my family into visiting US/IOA and staying at RPR all due to your fun adventures. We leave in 33 days! From someone who doesn't post much, THANKS for taking the time and commitment to post your trip reports, it bring such joy to those of us that can not travel as much.
I am here and enjoying your trip report immensely. I grew up outside NYC and your pictures are bringing back memories for me. I was walking around NY, by myself, in my early teens (close to 40 years ago). It's different now, but even back then, if you walked with a purpose, no one bothered you. Your photos are beautiful and I have to say that I can't look at a photo with Tom in it and not 'smile back'. He's got an infectious smile and looks like he's always having fun
...and this place has the loveliest cleanest bathrooms you will ever see in any City I guarantee...
LOVE the trip report. Your reports never disappoint! Yummy food, beautiful pictures, lovely happy couple and even some wonderful help amongst the nerve-wracking trip troubles.
I must say that some of your pictures are giving me vertigo (electronically) I don't even know why because I've never had the slightest fear of heights. I skied for years and rode the ski lifts and many times rode the aerial tramway (the longest in the US) from a base elevation of 6559ft up to a height of over 10,000 ft, looking out the gondola window the whole way and never flinching!! Maybe your look of fear and your descriptions are a little too real??
Love the happy smile always on Tom's face. You and he are very lucky to have each other (he also picks out amazing gifts for you)
The pictures of the city are great but make me shudder. I am terrified of heights. When I went to the top of the Rock I gave my camera to my daughter and she took most of the pictures.
Beautiful ring.
I can't wait to see what comes next.
Beautiful ring. Great choice. What’s not to love about Tiffany for sure. So sweet of your hubby to surprise you with your ring. It looks great on your finger.
Your pictures are fantastic of the city.
Wow you did get some nasty bites in the park. I can see them on the back of your leg and arm. My niece is fair skinned like you are and her’s welt up like that to.
Not a fan of heights here either. I remember years ago going up in the ESB. Glad I did it. Have not been back to New York for years.
Your pictures are bringing back nice memories.
Ha! We used those bathrooms, and I agree! We had a similar day touring Grand Central, the Library, and Bryant Park. Great trip report so far. Thanks!
