Was with my then wife at the time. Did loads of obligitory tourist waffle really.
One of the best times we had there was, we went to statton island. There was literally nothing to do there. We walked into the first bar we found and was greeted by possibly the friendlist locals ever. They found out we were newly weds and made us loads of cocktails and free lunch. Amazing peeps.

Hi La wrap up: 2 crazy nights out courtesy of Rob and his cronies Lots of shopping - purchases included 1 pair of Jeans, 2 pairs of pants, 3 T-Shirts, 1 Jacket, 1 cardigan, 1 pair of pyjamas, 7 CDs, 2 DVDs, 7" Vinyl singles. Quite a good haul overall! About 100 kms of walking! Celebrity spotting included Ron Jeremy, an Olsen twin and possibly Jessica Simpson and a Veronica. Many visits to the 101 cafe next to the hotel. 2 Mexican restaurants (Paul still working on that burrito) and many LA ho...

Hi Oh goodness! We can't quite get this sleeping thing right! Up again at 3am...AARRRGGGHHH. Yesterday was a quick day due to the time difference - left LA at 8.45am and arrived in New York 5 hours later at 5pm. We had a great flight with JetBlue - good airline - very friendly - loads of legroom. Free snacks and drinks and TV in every seat. Oh, our taxi driver in LA started taking us to LAX - we were leaving from Burbank - in the opposite direction - good thing we are cluey and knew where we ...

Hi Very tired today due to lots of walking. Trekked around Mid Town and visited the Grand Central Terminal, Chrysler and Empire State buildings, Byrant Park, Madison Park, Flatiron Building, Chelsea Hotel, Radio City Music Hall and the Rockefeller Centre. Very cold (4- 7 degrees) and a little rainy. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so we are going to do some museums. That's all for now. Love Carolyn and Paul

Today we visited the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum on a decommissioned aircraft carrier. Very interesting and informative. There are exhibits and you get to explore the ship. They also have one of the British Airways Concords which was quite interesting also. It is very small inside. We planned to visit the Museum of Natural History but the Dinosaur level was closed so we will go another day. Instead, we wandered around Central Park and saw Strawberry Fields, the ice skating rink, and ab...

Today was very, very cold! Only 5 degrees and a cold wind blowing. Brrrrrrrr! We went to Union Square, SOHO and the East Village which was the site of our Rock Junket walking tour which was very cool although someone has stolen the Joey Ramone Place sign - again - Boo Hoo. We saw such sites as Joey Ramone, Iggy Pop and Madonna's former homes, the buildings featured on the Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti cover, Manitoba's bar and the old CBGB's site plus much more. We then headed down to SOHO a...

Hi We had an action packed Friday the 13th... In the morning we went to the American Museum Of Natural History - there were about a million school kids but only half of them were screaming so it wasn't so bad. We saw the dinosaurs and loads of other exhibits including the space show at the planetarium. Next stop was another visit to the East Village where we checked out the shops along St Marks Place - Paul bought a new ring - we then went and had a drink in Manitoba's Bar (singer from The Di...

Today we left a little later and headed to Lower Manhattan to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was a nice day today; top of 12 degrees. Picked up some lunch at a little deli type store and ate it in the park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. A little chilly but very nice view. Took a heap of pictures and checked the mobile to find out we have a new Nephew named Jack. Very exciting news indeed! Can't wait to meet him when we get home. We went to Central Park to buy a CBGB's print ...

Today is our first anniversary! One year has passed since our brilliant wedding day... Today we went to see the Statue Of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on the ferry. Not the best day weather wise - very overcast and hazy. Very interesting though and worth the trip. We then visited the Skyscraper museum which was a bit disappointing - you can't always believe what Lonely Planet says! We also wandered by ground zero and the massive construction site for the new buildings. Caro...
