Juliet and I just got back from an awesome weekend trip to New York City. We took off from Tampa on Friday, met my cousin Sneh and her friends later that evening, and spent all Saturday morning shopping. Saturday afternoon my aunt and uncle from Jersey drove over with some yummy Gujarati/Indian food and we had a great lunch just catching up. Then my friend Arthur came over and all of us went shopping again. Well, it was really just Juliet and Sneh who were actually shopping - Arthur and I just walked around.

We got to Madison Square Garden right before 8pm to see comedian Eddie Izzard. It was a sold-out show with about 15,000 people in the audience just laughing constantly for a good three hours. Definitely one of the best comedy shows I've ever been to and certainly the one with the largest crowd. After the show we had some amazing desserts and called it a night.

Today morning we had some breakfast and left for Newark airport shortly before noon. An hour before our flight was supposed to take off, an airline attendant announced that they were offering free plane tickets to anyone willing to give up their seats on the current flight and take the next flight three hours later. Juliet and I said "sure, why not" and gave up our seats on the 2:50pm flight and took the 5:45pm one. We got home at 10pm instead of 7pm but now we have two free plane tickets on Continental Airlines. I'm looking for another weekend destination now. Any suggestions?
