THE BIG APPLE

FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR, MY MOM AND TWO OF MY COUSINS DECIDED THEY WANTED TO GO TO NEW YORK. WE DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY THERE BUT THEY WANTED TO GO BECAUSE MY MOM OWNS A TIMESHARE WHICH ALLOWS HER TO USE THEIR RESORTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR A REALLY GOOD PRICE. MY MOM TOLD ME SHE WOULD PAY FOR ME TO GO IF I WANTED TO GO WITH THEM, SO I COULDN'T SAY NO TO A FREE TRIP. I LEAVE IN TWO WEEKS; I'M SO EXCITED. I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T SNOW A LOT BECAUSE WE'RE RENTING A CAR AND I'VE NEVER DRIVEN IN THE SNOW, I ACTUALLY CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW REAL SNOW.

THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TRIP TO NEW YORK. I WAS THERE IN JUNE BECAUSE I WON AN ALL EXPENSE-PAID TRIP THERE THROUGH THE COMPANY I WORK FOR. I WAS THE MARKETING DIRECTOR AT THE TIME, AND BECAUSE I MET MY QUOTA I WAS SELECTED TO GO. I WAS ONLY THERE FOR 3 DAYS BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. MY FAVORITE IS CENTRAL PARK. IF I WERE TO EVER LIVE IN NEW YORK I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARK; BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE A CONDO THERE COSTS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
