I have two for the list: New Jersey and New York!!
New York is really cool, and it's just mind blowing. My dad's been taking me to NYC since I arrived here on Saturday. We did the whole bus touring thing of the city on those double deckers, we went to Ground Zero, the Empire State Building (the view is amazing from up there, especially at night), we took the Staten Island Ferry, we didn't actually go to Staten Island but we passed through it to see the Statue of Liberty. We walked around, saw the sights. We went to Madam Tussaud's, and that was a lot of fun. We went to the Toys R Us store that has the ferris wheel inside. We were gonna go to FAO Toys, but that night there was a private party. Donald Trump I guess rented the place for a very high class party, complete with red carpet and photographers from the press. Last night we went to Broadway and saw Beauty and the Beast. Amazing play!! It was mind blowing to see the city at 5:30pm, when everybody's getting out of work. It's a huge sea of people, I swear people can run over a car and the car will sustain more damage than the people!!! It's really overwhelming, especially for me, coming from such a small island. Anyways, don't know what we're doing tonight, but he has stuff planned till I leave, especially with my brother coming on Friday.

I love New York too!! I went there with my high school choir my junior year, and it was awesome. We went 9 months after 9/11, so seeing Ground Zero was especially emotional then because it wasn't that long after. We went up to the Empire State Building at night, in a thunderstorm with lightning, which was a little scary but awesome!! Couldn't see anything because of the fog and clouds, but it was still cool to be up there in a storm. And we saw The Lion King on Broadway, which was absolutely incredible. I cried LOL. I've seen Beauty and the Beast in Chicago, and it's also incredible!! And yes, traffic is very scary LOL. Chicago doesn't even compare; people drive literally BUMPER to BUMPER in NY. I would NEVER drive there LOL.

Virgin Mary's House is like a town near my city. I've been there last year, for the first time in my entire life and I think it's a cool place for all the catholics to see. Even Pope was there a month ago or something! I tried to take my boyfriend there but he says i'm more of a catholic then he is. LOL. ;D
