We had a great time being tour guides this August in the Big Apple. We showed two of our close friends the highlights of NYC, which happens to be Purple Light Jonathan’s hometown, before the VACAYA cruise. Our friends, Jenni and Scott, had never been to NYC and we were on a tight schedule. Despite the challenge, we still saw a lot including a number of Broadway shows. Here are some photos from our pre-cruise NYC trip.
