New Year's Eve 2011 in Times Square, New York USA

Times Squares New York for New Year’s Eve 2011 was quite an experience. People, people everywhere. The city was alive fresh off the Christmas festivities and preparations were in full effect to ring in the New Year. The weather was great (for December) and this made the mood of the city even more energized! Security measures were in put in place from early in the day, but this did not stop the excitement the city was preparing for. It seemed like the city was busting at the seams waiting for the midnight hour with all the preparations. We walked a lot around the city during the day, ate, went window shopping and checked out the Christmas decorations that were still displayed on some of the building and around the city, like Macy's, Saks, Lord and Taylor. We decided to go back to the hotel for a rest before the big Times Square reveal, but ended up resting for too long. We had a late dinner, but by the time we decided to head back to Times Square, most of the city was secured and blocked off. So close and yet so far. (-: We missed the big ball drop but had a great time being in the city anyway. I love New York! The trip was great and we both enjoyed our time and celebrating New Year's Eve there!
