It's funny, my mom's from Basking Ridge and my dad's from Philadelphia, but my dad's Navy career took him out west, where I mostly grew up in Hawaii. I sort of moved to NYC on a whim after college, but it was a whim that stuck like glue. I miss the islands terribly, if I won the lottery (unlikely since I hardly ever buy lottery tickets) or if somebody were to magically offer me a full-time job with benefits I would be tempted to give life there a go, but it's not all sunsets and beaches and mai tais out there, and life here has worked out to be pretty darned good. <br /><br />The crowds in Rockefeller Center were absolutely ridiculous but that was the only thing we did during my sister's visit that I would say was a bit of a bust. Everything else was good fun! <br /><br />VolvoTango is a bunch of people who like to dance the tango and get together to dance once a week (I think) in various indoor and outdoor locations. My paddling friends Steve and Gracie and Derek are regulars, with Steve being one of the main instigators, I think (he's always on the lookout for fun places for his dancing friends to dance). They mostly coordinate through their Facebook page. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/volvotango/" rel="nofollow">VolvoTango facebook group.</a>bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-70421317644720737492015-12-30T11:03:43.544-05:002015-12-30T11:03:43.544-05:00First, I didn't know you lived in or near NYC ...First, I didn't know you lived in or near NYC b/c I live in Northern NJ. Second what is VolvoTango ? Third, what a great time (and pics) you had in Manhattan! How lovely to spend it with your sister. Sweet memories.<br /><br />We didn't go in this year because I'm tired of the crowds but oh, how I miss it!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530651626467011526noreply@blogger.com
