New York City Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Back on America soil, without snow and ice.

So we arrived late in the afternoon, the flight IcelandAir 615 was pretty comfortable, we were in the exit row this time, so the leg room was great. I was able to write three of these stories and will upload them after I review them.

Probably because the flight was less than 6 hours (5 hours 50 minutes) food was not provided, although …

Introducing New York

I promise i'm not going to post about every single day of my year in New York. But the first week is almost the most exciting, so I need to start at day one.

Despite being utterly exhausted, we’d arrive in New York at 8am so had to try to stay awake at least until that evening. Our place is located in Chelsea, which is basically in …

Raindrops keep falling on my head

After a leisurely breakfast where we decided that we would simply replace the baby carrier we then headed to a huge place called Buy Buy Baby. Quite an appropriate name except we didn't buy anything. nothing for toddlers, so on to Macys. huge crowds, broken wooden escalators and a santaland which we only found out about once we had left the store …

So good they named it twice.....

Hmmmm New York baby, it's good to be back.... you can't help but smile.... it took about 30 minutes from the hotel and a $50 train fare!!! But it was sooooo worth it..... just like loreal!!!

Having explored New York to death I decided it was time for a pamper.... yep manicure, pedicure,

New York, USA - Just Before Christmas!

A scene of white awaited us as we touched down at JFK International. Heavy snowfall the previous day had given everything a winter coating just in time for Christmas. Two hours later, after clearing customs, night had arrived and we were sitting inside a yellow New York Taxi heading into Manhattan, the heart of downtown New York.

What a …

A Rainy Day in NYC: Perfect for Visiting Museums!

Our final day heading into the city, and we had another busy and fun-filled day! Our legs still hurt a bit from all of the walking that we did yesterday, but that didn't stop us from walking all over the city all day long. After breakfast, we walked up to the top of the very steep hill (10th St.) to the bus stop at Kennedy. We took the smaller " …

New York, at last

.. I don't mean at last after a dreadful flight, but at last, we've never been here, and you can only watch so many CSIs and Seinfelds without wanting to be here yourself. The flights were good, a short 2 hours from LAX to Denver, a few hour's wait there, and a 3.5 hour trip to New York, arriving here just after 6 this morning. Pattie picked us up …

Detroit > New York City

(Brooklyn, Tuesday, May 8, 2007)-Flying from Detroit to New York City in the morning, the good thing is that I'll be with Dr. D again after a two-month separation when she had to go back to the States in March to deal with some pressing family and business matters. Now we're to reunite in Brooklyn tonight, separate again next week when I fly back …
