Having lived in central New York my entire life and mostly hating it, I knew I needed a change. The company for which I worked was in a state of the unknown and staff didn’t often know if the company would be around another month, much less another year. Central NY is an area that has always been economically depressed, at least since I’ve been old enough to work. Utica and the surrounding towns are depressing in a good economy. Let there be a bad one and it’s just a horrible place to be. Enough about the negatives, I left that life behind in June, 2010. I decided to move to Paradise! Key West! I loved it for years, had friends there, and felt it was a great place to start over. |

So yeah, you can tell when we stumbled in, right? Well it wasn’t a real “stumble”, but we did hit quite a few places. We started at Grand Vin, carbed up at Paseo, strolled through Schooner |
Paseo Caribbean Food

Paseo isn’t exactly new anymore. The venue formerly known as Paradise Café opened last fall and I did try it once when I worked at my old location. |
Prissy in the City: Wine, Friends, & Food
| Well, we didn’t exactly *try* to get to One World Trade Center. It’s not that we wouldn’t have loved to spend time taking the Tribute WTC Visitor’s Center tour and seeing the progress of this building (New York’s new tallest building). Only having 10 hours in the city and eating, wine-ing, shopping (necessities), etc. didn’t leave as much time as one would think.
We left Bergdorf Goodman, did some walking, froze, and got on a train. We should’ve taken the 1 train, took the 2, and got off at Fulton because…I did not want to get off on Wall Street. So here we were.
We walked on Broadway for what seemed like an eternity. It was getting close to 5pm and I knew our chances of getting a cab were slim. |

Penn & Kyla’s Weekend Picks: May 3
Don’t I look pretty and pensive? You may say I’m on the couch all the time, but it’s not true!
 |
It’s just that Mom SNAPS me on the couch all the time that makes me look lazy. I do so many other things…like run around the house and bark! Mom and Dad aren’t all that fond of the barking, though. |

A couple months ago, Greg’s brother and sister-in-law asked The Handsome Captain™ to be godfather to their newest daughter, Mila. He gladly accepted and we booked a flight off The Rock.
As much as I love Key West, I actually enjoy getting off The Rock. It makes my heart happy to visit friends, family, Manhattan, and to immerse myself in the the real world.
