Mom: YES! Must GO! This will be an all morning/afternoon on one of our days; therefore, one day should be complete!

JD: Seems a little long for a 2 day trip, but it's educational and pretty and has the most departure times.

Cola- Althought this seems to be a lengthy cruise, it seems to have more historical lanmarks for only 5 dollars more. What cha think????? 5/31/06 And we can do the 3:30 and perhaps catch the night lights view.

JD: Okay, I'm down.
Mommie, what say you?

Mom: I like this tour also. Have a concern about the time: is there other sights on the other side of the island that we would prefer to see during daylight since it gets dark around 5pm? Or would we prefer to see the remainder of the island when the landmarks are beautifully lite?

Cola: 6/16/06- I talked to Pat, who just got back from New York and said that the 90 minute Harbor Cruise was GREAT!! I think we need to check this out to compare, we may be able to save some time and money. What cha think????

Mom: I'd like to go to the TOP! What a magnificant picture of the city from the top at night! So, can we plan to go in and up and if it conflicts with something else we'd can choose?

JD: Alright! It's on like pop corn...Mommie's treat :)

Mom: Changed my mind (I think)! I'd rather spend my $ for the museum!

Mom: Don't know what might be playing in Oct. Might be too expensive to "add" to our list of things to do since we don't seem to have many "free-bees". Nonetheless, we might do a "walk-by" and take a picture if we're in the area. I'm not excited because I think we need to focus realistically on what we will be able to afford and then add some places we can do "walk-by" for free!

Just want to do a plain ol' tourist thing with my Mom and big sister. Museums...landmarks...maybe a show.
Find somewhere cheap (but clean!) to stay since we only plan to sleep and change there.

Open to suggestions.
