Off to New York City

Good day,

I’m in Managua at my friend’s house sweating it out in a room that I quite like but it has no desk which has me a bit lost. Also, my friend’s husband is on a mission to download the internet so it’s moving slow which really slows my roll. Today was great and I rolled the dice on a random haircut from a random barber / hairdresser and they figured I didn’t need sideburns; wonderful.

Tomorrow I’m off to New York City for the first time. I’m leaving at 8am and will arrive at around 6pm or so. I’m there until the 23rd which is somewhere near the end of the week when I’ll be flying back to Nicaragua. I did a campaign with Visit Britain in 2014 and they are having an event that I’ll be participating in; should be a good time.

I won’t be doing much touristy stuff as I have limited free time. You see, I’m not into cold weather and know I’ll be back in New York at some point in my life unless I die young and in that case it doesn’t really matter anyways, does it? I plan on doing some shopping for stuff I need and exploring at my leisure while resting up for the main event on the 22nd. Shopping wise think external solid-state drives, perhaps a new camera and a bunch of other stuff I should really write down.

I do plan on seeing Times Square if it’s not far and a few other things. That said, it’s more of a work trip and I’ll be quite busy for the most part. I’m also curious what “New York Chic” means for dress attire, can someone enlighten me? From Nicaragua to New York City, that’s a route I never thought I’d take. Ahh the life of travel is an interesting one and really, most people can do it if they play their cards right and manage to keep themselves completely removed from most commitments but enough about stuff you already know.

I’m excited to be going to New York City! I really can’t believe I haven’t been before and above all else, I’m there to feel the vibe and become part of it even if only for a few days. The sights will always be there and I would like to see them but I’m not about to go trekking around in the cold like my life depends on taking the 000,000,000’s photo of landmark X. I just want to sit in diners, people watch and be anonymous in what I’ve heard is one of the greatest cities in the world…

I absolutely love London and have a feeling I’ll love New York as well.

Tips hat,

    Dubz – I hope NY is a good time. Not really sure about “New York Chic”, but you’re an interesting man of the world. I can’t imagine Ernest Hemingway attending said affair and worrying too much about following some silly pretentious dress code… Maybe a Nicaraguan flair to your get-up? (not sure what that is)

    Maybe the following minus the purse? The longer I look at it, the more I think it could work… You’re going to think I’m pulling your leg, but I’m not… ha ha!! http://www.alwaysfashionweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Umana_006.jpg

      Haha thanks and that outfit is NOTHING without the purse; lose the purse it’s just some dude who looks like a waiter in some tropical resort!

      Thanks for the suggestions though, I’m not so concerned but am just curious as I don’t like collars and the only opinion I’m ever really concerned about is that of the host who was gracious enough to invite me.

      Also doing some video interviews so that changes thing a bit too!

    While you’re in NYC, you must see Frick House. Trust me, it is the best place to visit in NYC.

    And if you want to see Princeton, email me and I’ll show you around.

    Just don’t buy any electronics from the stores on 5th Avenue. They are NOT going out of business.
