The City That Never Sleeps

I was surrounded by dapper young gentlemen :)
The "European" couple
The Carnegie Hall group picture
Dinner/Dance cruise was fun but cold!
High-heeled shoes were "forbidden" due to uncomfortable walking distances, so...we smuggled them in our purses and then changed into them later :)



It really is true. This city doesn't sleep. I know, cause our hotel was sandwiched between Carnegie Hall and Times Square on 7th Ave. The Heart of the city.

I definitely didn't have any trouble falling asleep though, thanks to the late hours that we got back to the hotel:
Night #1: dinner cruise. Time we went to bed: ~12:30. Woke up the next morning at 6:30
Night #2: Phantom of the Opera. don't know what time we went to bed but it was late and we were tired.
Night #3: Awards Ceremony/going out to get NY cheesecake/Packing. Time we went to bed: ~1:00 AM. Woke up at 6:20.
Even with the lack of sleep, though, it was still very fun. Actually, I think that sleep deprivation makes things more interesting. People are much more fun to talk to when they're only half-conscious.
The worst part was all the WAITING. Took forever for our plane to leave the Orlando Airport, thanks to rain and general bad weather in New York, so we missed our concert in Central Park. Honestly, I'm not too sad about that. I don't know how stoked I would be about stepping off of the plane and right into a bandshell for a performance, PLUS I got some sleep on the floor of the airport :)
But now it's 1 AM and I'm tired and going to the beach (again! :)) tomorrow. This 80 degree weather is a nice change from the wind chill of New York!
I'll probably upload some pictures later.

Goodnight!
