We are also going to China Town at one point. I live in Virginia so its only like 6 hours. Last year we went to Florida and it took 12.

Enjoy your stay here. :)

Thanks Brian Damage :)

I got a question. Has anyone ever been to one of those wax museums? I know they have them in other places but I can't see how looking at molds of people can be fun. Is there more to it than that?

awesome :woohoo: new york is an awesome place

and nope i've never been to a wax museum. sorry :(

Thanks Brian Damage :)

Basically no, what you see is what you get. :lol:

I will take a picture of me with my buddy Richard Nixon and post it here-lol

I was reading the list at the museum and I think its weird they have a Jerry Springer mold but nobody from GI.

Have fun in the Big Apple!

Thanks Janice, thanks Joe :)

OH MY GOD MADAME TUSSAUDS. You will love it!!!! They are only in select large cities in the world. I went to Madame Tussauds in London in 2004, and I loved it! You should consider yourself lucky to go to the Madame Tussauds in NYC. I wanted to go check it out while I was in NYC, but I didn't have time. :(

It's very very cool - the wax figures are VERY life-like...some of them are even configured to talk. They have different sections of the museum, like political figures, actors/actresses, singers, horror movies, Golden Era people, etc. Some of the more recent celebs they make a figure out of have donated their own clothing for their figures. They have a Whoopi Goldberg figure at the Tussauds in London, and Whoopi donated one of her own outfits for her figure. :)

Anyway, have fun in NYC! :)

Have fun! :wave:

The Seaport, eh? Well, look out for this guy!

And be prepared for the human body exhibit at the Seaport too! (NOT KIDDING! :eek: )

Have a great time in NYC. Chinatown is next to Little Italy (if you have the time) and there's a great Italian restaurant in Little Italy called Da Mela--no menu--they just keep bringin' the food out.

thanks everyone again.

PZelda: wow it sounds a lot funner now :) The talking ones should be a lot of fun.

Steve M.: Human body exhibit :spit: That is one I will stay away from-lol

I got my pictures back today, here are some pics.
