Sounds like you had an adventure and a half. Glad things generally worked out in the end, despite the occasional kerfuffle. (Personally, I suspect that I would have given up at the fallen plaster stage, so I'm very impressed!)

It sounds like, all things considered, it was a lovely week, and you got to see New York and be there for your friend. *Win*

Her mother commented on the last day "I'm so glad you guys could make it. It means a lot to her."
It was the first suggestion I'd got that it meant anything more to them than "oh, it's nice to have you here" and that was pretty awesome.

New York is big. And impressive. And big. I'm glad I saw it.

I find that even the scary types of adventure are fun to look back on, so the whole thing gets bundled into the "I'm glad I went" category :D
