only eight sleeps to go

i am starting to get very excited!! The hair is cut, the new glasses fitted, the beard is gone and the forecast is for snow but don't tell Jewel.

Well, we might have got lucky. This hotel is being renovated and so has cheaper room rates and it is right slap in the middle of Manhattan over the road from Madison Square Garden. So fingers crossed!!!!!

THANKS HEAPS ESTEBAN!!!!!

We have found an apartment......the description:

The Apt. it's located on Waverly Place & Charles St. New York. 10014

The zigzagging streets and charming brownstones of the West Village have a far more laid back atmosphere than most neighborhoods in the city. The center of New York's gay and student communities lies here, with a variety of funky shopping and nightlife including jazz, rock and dance clubs, restaurants, bars and cafes. By the early 1900s, the Village had fully established itself as the center of radical thinking in the United States. Famous reformers, artists and intellectuals all gathered here, and many still do. Do not miss a visit to Washington Square Park.
This Beautifull Studio Apt. it's only a couple of blocks of these mayor Subway Lines, Christopher Street-Sheridan Sq & West 4 Street /6 Avenue
