New Camera.

I'm a little behind, and this isn't going to be a complete post, but I wanted to put something out there. A couple of weeks ago, on May 11th, I got my new camera, a Sony DSC-T10:

Lady Liberty

We purchsed ferry tickets with Circle Line to take us to Liberty Island. The tickets include the Monument Access Pass needed to get in the Statue of Liberty. We also got a audio tour. Total amount for two tickets and one tour was $38.50.

Received a pamphlet, lost a camera.

I put the newly received and charged battery into my camera last night and it turned on and took some pictures. So the accessories pass the quick test. Alas, Sandy went on the Walk for Animals today and broke my camera. Apparently it was dropped, and now the viewscreen doesn't work. I'm researching a replacement...

On an upside, I received a package from AAA's I Love NY. It's a sort of magazine full of ads and tourist info. I've added it to all the other stuff received and have to look through.

Received order from CCS.

I received the camera stuff I ordered the other day from CCS. The iPod charger I ordered is exactly like another travel charger I ordered elsewhere last year. The camera battery charger is different than the charger that came with the Sony, but it looks like it should work fine. The battery is visually the same type and it fits in my camera, but it's really cheap looking. The primary reason for that is the low quality label on it. Literally looks like something printed off a cheap color inkjet and sort of just wrapped around the battery. It's kind of coming off the side too. Still, if it works, it's not bad. I'll charge it tonight and test it this weekend.

AAA Goodies.

I receved the last two packages from AAA. I was especially pleased with the parcel from Diana in Cooperstown. She sent all sorts of nifty flyers and brochures about local places of interests and events. Unfortunately I don't know if there will be time to visit most, but it was nice of her to do. She also took the time to draw the "best route" from NYC to Cooperstown on a map with a highlighter and included a Post-It Note wishing us a great trip.

It's the little personal touch that makes it oh so much better!
