Daar halen we kaartjes voor de tour door de NBC studios, we kunnen om 1200 uur terecht. Tot die tijd gaan we naar het uitzichtspunt, Top of the Rock, van het Rockefeller Center.

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 …

Today was a perfect New York day. Blue skies, sunny, christmassy, exciting and moving.
Started the day by going to the observation deck on the 70th floor of the Rockefeller tower. up in 43 seconds or something ridiculous like that. Despite a chilly wind we had amazing views and appreciated to for once look down on something. After a crazy …

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.

We decided that jono needed to rest as a …

Dave, Nick and Dom had to be awake for 5am as they wanted to watch the Aussie Football (Rugby). I went back to my room at about half 8 which was just in time for Claire waking up and she let me in. I went back to bed for a few more hours. When i woke up again I had the final day feeling :-( I really don't want to go. After yet another …

We arrived at Newark and made our way to our hotel in Harlem and crashed after a long day. We continued our bad airport shuttle luck of being the last people to be dropped off - but in this instance it wasn't a bad thing as we got our first taste of the lights and action of NYC. It was beautiful looking at Manhattan from a distance and Vicki loves …
