When I emerged from below, the first thing I saw was Radio City Music Hall......I'll never forget!!

Now living in Buffalo, but have a son living in Manhattan. We used to drive or fly down, but what a hassle. Then discovered Amtrak, but it does take a few hours longer than driving, about 8 if no problems. We have been taking business class; but you are soooo right, there are always "loud talkers". I didn't know about the quiet car; and it is a bit less expensive than business. Visitng again in December with my husband. What hotel did you stay at? We are staying in the midtown area, not sure where. Think we have stayed at several dozen different hotels over the years. Yet to find the perfect, quiet place though.

You would have never known it to look at her--she was what my dad would call zaftig. According to what she said in a local radio interview, when she was a rockette, she ate half a dry bagel for breakfast with black coffee, no lunch, and a salad for dinner (with chicken only if she was feeling like she could afford to have it weight-wise). Sounds like no fun to me.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03310167742699434598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-78327389695113699342015-10-19T17:23:08.528-07:002015-10-19T17:23:08.528-07:00I love the train....read for hours, watch the worl...I love the train....read for hours, watch the world go by...love it (minus the loud bossy woman).

Yes, a blonde joke is definitely in there. I love NYC and want to make it to Radio City Music Hall for their Christmas Show one of these years. Guess I might should get that on the books. Hubby has no desire to go but says I can go anytime I want too. I've been twice and I think I see a 3rd trip in my future.
