So, the folks arrive later today and commence their visit to me and then off to maren in Montreal. I have created an itinerary packed with important things for your first NYC visit and some more local things that tourists don’t usually think to do.

As always, when planning an itinerary for a visitor, I have included a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I took Amber and Kyle there when they visited. The reason I mention this is that Maren, who has logged more time in New York City over the past three years than any other non-resident, has never been. Every time she comes, we plan to go and every time she comes, we end up bumping the museum for something else. She did go to the Guggenheim (my favorite museum) but has never been to the big one and I’m just not sure where the breakdown is. So, I’m challenging the folks and myself to make sure that we don’t bump the museum this week. I’ll let you know how we did.

Also, it wouldn’t hurt to keep mom in your thoughts tomorrow as she will take her first (and not happily anticipated) ride on the subway. Good luck, Lisa, who will be with her as dad and i will be at a Yankee game. I’ll let you know how that went as well.
