Times Square New York City

Entry containing 1 photo titled: Hola

It was great to be a family again!

We went for breakfast at a neat little cafe just up the road from the apartment, really small, very trendy, and good food. We seem to have befriended the Jewish man who runs a mens wear shop just up from Linda's place, he comes out and says hello everytime we go past.

We walked around the …

I arrived in New York yesterday after an overall 25 hour flight stopping off in Dubai from Perth. It was a long tiring flight but it is all worth it now that I am here. New York is simply AMAZING. I am staying at the Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel, which is right in the centre of Times Square, at the junction of Broadway and 7th Avenue. It …

Managed to get ourselves to the airport in good time, despite the traffic chaos getting in. Got a bit excited when we boarded after viewing the bar complete wiht a few barstools, but quickly realised that was the business class bar; ours was more of a crack in between a couple bulkheads. But clearly more leg and **** room in premium economy than …

Mijn moeder kwam ons om 06.15 uur ophalen en we waren erg vlot op Schiphol..daar bleek de beveiliging wel weer aangescherpt. Wij denken dat dit kwam door het feit dat twee dagen ervoor een aanslag was gepleegd op het Britse Consulaat in NY.

Het inchecken ging erg vlot..en we waren dan ook al om 07.30 uur door de douane.

Voor het …

Voordat we echt de touristische attracties gaan bekijken nemen we vandaag even de tijd om voor de nieuwe videocamera wat extra dingetjes te kopen. Een tasje, beschermende lens, extra batterij enz. In Nederland moeilijk aan te komen, hier in New York bij B&H standaard producten. Die winkel is dan ook wel onnoemelijk groot. In Nederland vind je …

Zoals in het verslag van gisteren al te lezen was zijn we vandag niet naar Washington geweest. De juiste kaartjes waren er niet meer en andere kaartjes veel te duur voor een dagje. We besluiten lekker uit te slapen en daarna naar Central Park te gaan. Het weer is benauwd en druilerig als we rond twaalven vertrekken. We lunchen eerst in de buurt van …

Wow is a powerful word. Simple in form but wrapped in immense and complex variety. On one hand it describes the essence that something beholds or a factor one strives to convey in a product. On the other, a powerful emotion that boils the blood with adrenalin and forges memories etched forever in our minds. A desire that infiltrates our dreams and …

Something more than one year and I am back in New York with my friend Dimitris and the objective actually was to visit USA just because he never been here before. We surfed Helga's couch for 3 days and then we stayed in a hostel. Helga is a nice lady living in the North Manhattan and she offered us good hospitality as she also shared with us some …

I'm really trying to sleep my way out of Jetslag, and I'm getting there steadily. Far as my body's concerned it's still about 3 hours later than it actually is, which is an improvement over the 5 hours I started at. Nick's up at the crack and balls of dawn like some sort of maniacal hen, padding about and having the world's earliest shower. By the …

Our day after the night before was nearly all lost to headaches and sleeping. We went for a walk around Times Square but that was about it. Not too much to say there. Today (the 2nd) we went to the top of the Rockefeller Centre under the Karl ...
