Jane ... What a wonderful adventure. If I were only in NY for 2 days first I would take a Grey Line tour. They are a bus tour company that will show you the whole city.The tours can be arranged from most hotels in the city.That way you will get to see the city and learn about the history of it. Then of course see the Statute Of Liberty,the Metropolitian Meuseum and then accross the street and see Centeral Park. Eat off the street carts the hot dogs are wonderful and have a big hot pretzel with mustard. On the second day the trip to Ellis Island is a must. You will be amazed at the imigrent history there. New Yorker's are great people in their own eclectic way. Have fun and speak on all our behalf at the seminar. If you have any extra time a trip over and back on the Statan Island Ferry will show you nice NY skyline sites and give you a chance to snuggle with your honey. :) Terry At 09:13 AM 8/18/98 +0100, JaneRoss wrote: >Most of you know I have had DBS surgery when it was still experimental and >since have volunteered to be a candidate for research studies.
