Macy's Parade here I come. Fabric shops too I hope.
In 1977 my father and I planned to go to the parade the fallowing year 1978. He died October 1, 1978. I have wanted to go ever since. We are leaving on Tuesday and returning Saturday. We are going with AAA tours. Everyday is filled with events. Tuesday arrive, Wednesday Statue Liberality, Battery Park , Ground zero memorial, then a 4 hour site seeing tour. Wednesday is projected to have a Nor easter. So I am nervous about the rain. Thursday is the BIG day Parade, then dinner on the Hudson on a Yacht. Never been on a yacht. Friday we go see the Rockettes Christmas program. Lunch at 5 Napkins then Fabric World and Moods. I am sooo scared and excited. Any suggestions on the itinerary?

Hey, skothing, wave to me as we pass by with the Elf on the Shelf balloon! DH is an 'A' pilot...he'll be in advance of the balloon to detect winds. I am a co-captain - will probably be 'park side' so you'll see me running back/forth in a white jumpsuit. Are you in the grandstands at central park? It's awesome. My SIL; nieces; nephews will be there as well.
Don't worry too much about the nor'easter. It will be windy/chilly from what I see at this point. Dress in layers. Get as close to the curb as you can if you are not in the grandstand. HAVE A BLAST! It IS the best parade on earth!

Dress warm and be ready for winds - the cross winds coming down a street or avenue can be very strong. Wear a hat and make sure you have bottled water. Good and comfortable walking shoes too. City Quilters is at 133 West 25th street, between 6th (Avenue of the Americas) and 7th Avenue. Its a nice little shop if you have time to get there.
The Empire State Building is at 34th street, that's a cool thing to see too. And of course not far from there is Macy's
I have a funny feeling that your trip is already filled with plenty to do Enjoy! Oh, and just to be more comfortable, don't carry a purse but rather wear something small to keep your money and such in that you can wear under your coat. That way you don't have to worry about setting it down someplace.
