New York


I have been to New York on many occasions.

My first expoerience was on school, boy scout and church trips to the World's Fair and other sights such as th UN, Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center and such. I have picked people up at JFK airport several times. I have ex-relatives in the Bronx at Co-op City, so I have been there several times. I need to see New York City in more depth. I recently spent 2 nights with my buddy and he showed me around. I also have a daughter who lives in Brooklyn.


I have also been to the Adirondacks and the Finger Lakes. I have also traveled through the Woodstock region. In the Adirondacks, we camped and hiked in the Lake Placid region. We visited Whiteface Mountain and ran into people I work with who were also touring the area. They stayed at the KOA, but the state campground that I was at was better as it had warm showers, a fishing stream nearby and was a lot cheaper. We traveled through towns like North Elba, Black Brook, Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh, Keeseville, Tupper Lake, Long Lake, and Indian Lake. We traveled up to Watertown and viewed the Thousnad Island area from route 12 and Clayton. We traveled down 89 by Cayuga Lake and stopped at Taughannock Falls (which was very nice).

I once started a canoe trip in Port Jervis.

Once on a return trip from Maine, we traveled to Albany and spent a night there.

When I was a Boy Scout we went to Montreal and crossed the border at Champlain.
In 2007, I stayed in a hotel near the Empire State building, toured the city and the 9/11 area. I also went to a game at Yankee Stadium. I used a lot of mass transit.
