New York Pictures: Trip day 2

I've been dealing with the freakin' travel agency all afternoon.

They keep referring to the NYC Vacation Package "people" who the agency booked our trip through.....and all the things that "they" require to refund my money for the airplane ticket I had to buy because they fu*ked up.

Needless to say, I am not pleased with the agency or the NYC Vacation Package "people". So far I've only dealt with Kena at the agency. I've gotten her from "it'll take weeks to get your money" to " NYC Vacation (etc) will refund the money to your brother's credit card ASAP". Kena says that is b/c the original form of payment was my brother's credit card. I reminded her that my brother wasn't standing at the ticket counter in Hartsfield at 6:00 a.m. using HIS debit card to buy another ticket. The fact that my brother would give the money back to me instantly is beside the point. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get my money back. This was their mistake. So.......If I don't get the answer I want from Kena tomorrow, I'm speaking to the manager of the agency.

I sincerely hope the manager gives me the answer I want.

They don't want me to come to the agency in Texas to take care of this in person.

That would not be good.

Anyway.....

here are pictures from the day we went to the Statue of Liberty and the Yankees game.



It was raining that morning....so a trip to the
DSW located in the hotel was essential

I had to buy this hat.
Aside from the hat being super cute, my hair
looked like crap because of the rain.
So the hat was a necessity.


On the ferry headed to the Statue of Liberty



The pedestrian path on West Ave.


At the game....

Hot pretzels.....YUM!

It was "hat night" at the game.....

'Chuck's' I bought at DSW and wore to the game

Long train ride back to the hotel.
This was the day of the pipe explosion....so the trip took
way longer than usual.
~and~
yes
I bought two hats at DSW.

  2. DAMN!! I am smiling from ear to ear having so much vicarious joy. You look absolutely fetching in that snazzy hat & I love the sneakers too. The photos of Yankee Stadium almost had me in tears of joy & long lost adoration. I am so glad I will be there in less than 2 months. I was thinking I hadn't had one of those pretzels in FOREVER & really laughed when I saw those. This might be my most favorite post of yours EVER. I love it. I am so eager to get to NYC. I can practically hear it, feel the energy & taste it. Your posts have been super enjoyable for me to read. Thanks!!! :-)

    rat: Wow! Your comment might be my most favorite comment of yours EVER! *L* I'm so glad you're enjoying these posts. I was afraid they'd bore y'all since you'd heard about what happened already and are seeing the pictures after the fact.

  9. Any time I'm in NYC I have to grab a hot dog. This is dangerous since I'm now visiting my bran-new nephew often in NYC!

    I like how your pictures show a 3-hat day!!!

  12. hats are cool, but the chucks are cooler... does that make sense? anyway. I have never been to NYC and now I really want to go.

    good luck with the travel nazi's. I hope you get your money soon.

  13. I LOVE the hat and Chucks (I love ladybugs). And the pretzel nearly made me drool. I am sorry your having trouble with the agency and the "people". I used to work in customer service so I get super pissed when I don't get treated right. Good luck!
