March 24-25, 2006 - Allentown, Pennsylvania
Once we had a look at the map we initially thought we would go to Conneticut and stay there for the night and drive into New York City tomorrow morning. Then I saw that Allentown, Pennsylvania was just west of New York City and I have a couple of friends who live there...so we decided to contact them and stay near them. I called Arlene when we arrived in the afternoon and she invited us to stay with her and Michelle.
We went out for a little tour in the car and had supper at a wonderful Italian restaurant, then we went out to a bar, Diamondz and played some pool. We had a great night and so enjoyed spending time with Arlene and Michelle.
On Saturday, Michelle had to work so Darlene and I just chilled with Arlene at the house. They were having some problems with their computer so Darlene spent part of the day fixing that for them. Arlene and I went out and ran a few errands and picked up some lunch. I also took the opportunity to do a couple of much needed loads of laundry.
We then went out to a Middle Eastern restaurant, Aladdin...it was awesome...the food was soooooo good and we were entertained by a belly dancer while we ate. Her performance was so well done complete with the music and the little clickers in her hand.
We then went out by the airport to The Downs. What a place that was. It was a horseracing type place that had tons of TV's with horseraces from all over North America. Well, what a night we had...Madame Luck sure was running for us. The only racetrack I recognized was Woodbine from Toronto so Darlene and I decided to bet all the races from that track for the night instead of jumping around from place to place. We arrived during the 4th race and I bought an exactor ticket on the first race and won $80 right off the bat...imagine...Anyway, it gets better....a couple of races later Darlene and I end up buying the same ticket without realizing it...a triactor ticket 7-3-2 which was the number of our hotel room at the World Golf Village, that is why we choose that sequence...IT WON!!!!!!!!! We each won $388.80...we couldn't believe it....
Arlene and Michelle cashed some tickets as well and we ended the night with Darlene cashing a $10 show ticket and Arlene cashing a $12 win ticket....so we all had a great night...a wonderful meal, entertainment and a night out with two very lovely people...We are so glad things worked out that Arlene and Michelle were home and didn't have any plans this weekend...
The four of us are taking the bus into New York city for the day tomorrow. We are so lucky to have Arlene and Michelle to come with us tomorrow...They also mentioned there is a Musikfest (music festival) here in Allentown this August so we are planning to come back for a week then to go to the festival with them and plan a day or two in Atlantic City as well...
