Start spreading the news....da da da da da....(you get the drift). Well, what a week of work...(boring)....let's get to the good stuff!!! NEW YORK CITY BABY!
Arriving mid arvo on Good Friday (due to the delay at Ottawa airport / Newark Airport - Jersey) - strong winds caused huge problems in the US....we arrived safely (after having the pilot inform us it was to take 20 mins of circling above for us to land OR for the 25 mins of fuel left on board to run out - meaning we would head for Pennsylvania.....hmmmm...not reassuring us really, but we made it!)
Stepping off the plane - very small and cosy - 40 people on it - for an International flight - we arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport, around 15 miles from Manhattan. After the short trip - discussing cricket of all things - yeah, he was an Indian bloke - wanting to give us some stick about losing!!! we arrived on Manhattan - an amazing spectacle! Seeing the Empire State Building, Chrysler building and well any building of notable height (Ottawa is as flat as a pancake), we knew we were bound to love this place!!!
Finding our hotel with relative ease - 4 star luxury at a bargain rate - I LOVE NY & TRAVELOCITY!!! - we made our way towards Times Square....taking in all the fluorescent lights, massive screens, you need to see it to put it into perspective!
We did so many amazing things - i can't be bothered writing about - so here are the images so you can see for yourself. Up early, bed late - New York style!!! An amazing experience....and yes, I bought a Yankees jumper (sweater) and a Mets hat......it was $10 - give me a break!!!!
