NEW YORK!

We began our adventure with several wonderful and relaxing days in New York. After our late arrival, we woke up to sunshine and incredible crisp and perfect weather in Scarsdale. Hotel Gilman (my Aunt Em and Uncle Jeff's home) was a spectacular getaway! We started off with a day on Long Island sound, kayaking around yachts. We also had a excellent Cuban dinner in the city with my childhood friend, Patrick, and the Gilman's (minus Katie! - we missed you!). After some good rest and an excellent home cooked meal, JJ decided to venture out sailing with Uncle Jeff while I visited more with Patrick in the city. We had a delicious lunch in battery park and had a blast watching soccer and catching up. We finished up the stay with another great dinner in the city, big smiles, and some sleep before heading to ICELAND!
