RTPROFamily Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I wanted to let everyone know that Randy,my husband and our daughter Tiffany are just going through the Holland Tunnel into NYC. Randy bought an item on ebay in NJ(pickup only) and said we might as well go to NYC and see the Statue of Liberty and the city. They saw her as they were crossing some bridge and could see the NYC skyline. Dad is trying to video tape while moving. They are going to try to see as much as they can today and then head back to NJ tonight. I think they are going to stop by and see ruttinbuc. i hope they will have some video and or pics. to share with the forum members. Randy has been driving since 3:30pm Sat. and and drove straight through without waking up dad! They even stopped at an Outback for dinner in Springfield last night and Randy still didn't get tired. BTW, Randy is wearing a Team Realtree shirt in NYC! I am sure he has pm's to answer when he gets home sometime on Tuesday. Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Cool ,,, too bad they won't be skirting the northern part of VT on their way back home ... Definitely sounds like an awsome road trip .. Especially with that character (DAD) on board .. Thanks for the info Darla .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I hope they have a safe trip and the weather cooperates. What kind of truck did he get Darla ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yes, they had a good and wet trip. It rained most of the way but it is 62 in NYC right now. At home it is 32. I just talked with them and they were at Battery Park overlooking the Statue of Liberty. He didn't get a truck but you are close. He will have to post pics.of his new ebay item when he gets home. He said they drove by where the Trade Center was and there were flags everywhere. I think they might have it on video. Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I talked to Randy for quite some time last night as they motored east. I know they are pretty excited to be going to New York City. It is one of those places where you have to see it to believe it. Pictures and television do not do it justice. It gets a bad rap, but it truly is a great place to visit. It will be quite an experience for them, for sure. I know what the ebay item is, but I won't spill the beans... Randy will be making the pickup about 40 minutes from me and is going to try and get to my place tomorrow. It will be good to see him and dad again and to meet Tiffany. Need to run...Have some picking up to do around here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'd love to see the Statue Of Liberty too but refuse to deal with traveling through that area. Its unfortunate it is such a hassle. Hope their trip goes well. What the heck did he buy on ebay that was worth picking up way up there?

My daughter has been shopping at several stores including the Hard Rock cafe and has her dad and brother holding all of her shopping bags.She said they went past the Ripley's museum too in Times Square. They said it is a busy place at night. Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've seen the Statue of Liberty twice in my life. Both times from the plane leaving Newark and headed to China. LOL That is probably as close as I'll get though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I know I am a little late but I have been visiting family. Welcome to my home state of New York. I wish you were closer, I would give you the grand tour of the best part of New York, everything north of New York City! I have been pestering Randy to come do his thing up here but he says I have to wait. Hope you are enjoying your visit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I haven't heard from my family and ruttinbuc for over 3 hours. i am worried of course. They were walking somewhere on W.40th street looking for midtown comics at 8:30pm eastern. I have tried everyones cell and no one answers. I pray that everything is okay. It is difficult being 1000 miles away and don't know what is going on.They parked in a parking garage somewhere near 5th ave. I just had to talk with someone. Thanks and let's pray they are all okay, Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
