I want to travel during this spring vacation, but I can't because my daughter' spring vacation is the following week of mine. Yesterday, the LA Times said most domestic airlines suggested a great deal because of the low gas price and the economic situations. Some fares between LA and New York is posted at about $200. I want to go to Manhattan, New York. Manhattan has so many fabulous restaurants, museums and art galleries....... If I go to New York, I will buy a traveller's journal with information of New York. If I visit New York, I will eat, walk, and watch too much. Also, I want to take a picture and buy something in New York.
However, I worried if my younger daughter enjoys the tour of New York and the spring vacation negatively affects on my and my first daughter's remaining semester. I dislike Febluary to April of California which has cold temperature and strong sunshine. I wonder how is the weather of New York. I can't decide if I go to New York.

I frequently watch a various kinds of TV dramas, but my favorite genre is a romantic comedy. Because of busy day after day, I have no time watching TV except for one hour before I go to bed. It is important for me to relax and well prepare sleeping and the next day. At this time I love watching romantic comedies because of some reasons.
First of all, romantic comedies are funny and interesting. Most characters of these TV shows are not perfect. They always make mistake and regret. I feel comfortable because of their unperfect characteristics. Whenever I watch these shows before falling asleep, I can easily forgive myself who made mistakes for day along.
Also, most romantic comedies are light, not severe and heavy. After watching these shows, I don't need to remember and reflect. They are very simple, so it is easy to understand and forget. Therefore, I can comfortably sleep even as soon as I turn off the TV.
