Charli,

Your pictures are really nice, you have a good eye for photography!

As for "I am cait," I watched episode 2 and was generally happy with it - with a couple of reservations - but I won't risk spoiling it for you

Christie

lol thanks Christie x

Wow. Your photos really, really are fantastic.

Charli, love your photos, as I am an architecture and outdoor sculpture fan!

Dear Charli,

Also am fascinated by lighting.  Loved visiting lighting stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan.  The autistic man I cared for was also into lighting, so he gave me a great excuse to visit all kinds of lighting stores, when he got away from me and I had to go looking for him. The managers of lighting stores were ALWAYS very kind in helping me find him, and I gave them my name, phone and address to all of them, because I did not want them to call the police to find his family (me).  Thanks to him, I got to know many lighting stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn!  By the way, the police in both Florida and NYC were very good about helping me find him, although I was lucky enough to beat them to it almost every time!  LOL!

Yours truly,

Monica

Hi Monica,

Thats awesome.

I'm planning on visiting NY soon. As a local where are the best/must see places to go? Will be there 10 days.

Will be doing some of the tourist places and Museum of Modern Art. I also have a dare to go full on I ♥ NY so hats, tee, shorts, bag etc. 

All tips greatly appreciated.

If you're interested in a trans meet-up, there's one that meets at the Stonewall every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. (then moves across the street to the Monster at around 8:30).  We play pool, chat, etc.

And if you're here on August 25 you could come see me do drag :-)

lol thanks for the offer,

but won't be there that soon.

Dear Christie and Charli,

Here are some resources that I recommend for free/inexpensive activities in NYC:

http://www.nyc-arts.org/collections/35/free-museum-days-or-pay-what-you-wish

Highly recommend the US $80.00 pass, as it will allow you to get past lines.  In NYC, because of the crowds, your TIME IS MONEY, so don't think waiting in long lines for a "free" event will save you money . . . because some "free" events are on your NYC pass, but the advantage will be that you will go to the head of the line.  

Will get you the website for Air bnb, because the hotels in NYC are PROHIBITIVE!  The owners of Air bnb are very knowledgeable about the city, and they will help you plan your days to make the most of them.

Will write again soon with information about air bnb.

Yours truly,

Monica

Dear Christi and Charli,

As promised, the website for Air bnb is:

https://www.airbnb.com/s/New-York--NY

The website looked really good, worth checking out!

Yours truly,

Monica

Charli, Hiya Love. It Looks Like You Are Falling For New York, In A Big Way ! L.O.L.  When are You Visiting N.Y., then Charli ?  I Am in the UK, and I have never been to the U.S.A.  You Never Know.

Monica,

Thanks for that info - though since I live here I probably won't have need for AirBNB

Charli, I love the photograph of the "I Heart NYC" T-Shirts.  Only in NYC have I seen the RESIDENTS wear such shirts and accessories, where in OTHER cities, only TOURISTS wear such items!  LOL!!
