Well, 5am came early this morning and saw us packed and out the door. 2 hours later, we were at the border in Fort Erie exchanging our CDN rainbow money for the plain green US $ and ooogling the vats of liquor for sale cheap, cheap, cheap. I had to show you this:
That would be 4.5L of Jameson Irish whiskey for $90CDN. That, my friends is a party in the making. (for my imperial friends that’s approx 1.5 US gallons…)
It was fate that as we crossed the border the lovely driver ahead gave me the perfect licence plate to start the trip off on the right foot –
Fast forward a few more hours of driving….. and now we’re here!
NYC!! This is a little belated anniversary get away for John and I without the children. They are babysitting their grandfather back at home.
Don’t worry, I brought lots of projects to keep me busy, and 2 different yarn shops to visit are on the agenda for tomorrow.
How exciting! When I lived in northern New York, I loved going to the duty-free shops along the border. I seem to remember acquiring numerous bottles of Bombay Sapphire gin, somehow. 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful time.
It’s always nice to get away for a bit.
Have a wonderful time, are you going to check out the old overhead rail system, I think it is in the Bronx.
Yarn shops in NYC …….omg ! Have fun.
I’m so excited for you!!! Wheeeee!!!
I perked up when you said you were going yarn shopping! Fun!! Love your colors of your knitting 🙂
If you end up at Purl Soho … I want photos!!!! *turns green with envy*
