Crowne Plaza Hotel White Plains-Dwtn, Ny

... was the same grounds crew that was watching the game with us. I suspect our eventual departure conincided with the end of the second game. We left the airport over 2 hours late, and the pilot announced we were scheduled to arrive in Buenos Aires at 4 pm. Four PM!?!?! our flight to Ushuaia left a different airport in BA at 4 pm. We originally had 4 hours between flights, but now because of delays we would have no time, and miss out flight??? Great start to this vacation! :(

... rest of his team is his safety helemet is decorated with brightly coloured stickers and badges, with a black feather sticking out from the top of his hard hat...what a site. We go hunting for the famous Wall Street Bull and find it, but not at all on Wall Street. We venture over to what used to be the twin towers. Amazing to see the gap in the New York skyline, the site is under construction and we can't keep but go silent to think of how devastating the ...

J was in a tizz, here uncle from London was arriving that evening. Tidying up and getting the house sorted before he arrived. The traffic to the airport was quite congested but we got there on time. It was the first time for B to meet J's uncle. When we got home we took a walk to our favourite pizza place on Mamaroneck Avenue called Famiglia for a snack before retiring for the evening. Tomorrow is our road trip to Mystic.

... way in the NY metro it's impossible to find your way. As for me i couldn't. We always had to ask other passengers about destinations and trains. Ant the metro is so dirty and dark! Moscow metro is a palace if compared to NYC one! Eventually we managed to get the bus and even got the subway from Boston to Newton. I wouldn't bu able in New York. it's so crowdy, noisy and dirty... But to see it once in life is a MUST for everyone!

Well I leave tomorrow for Istanbul and I am so excited! I'm nervous to be traveling alone because this will be the first time I will be traveling alone internationally, but I think that I will be ok.... mom trained me well :) So I'm just tying up loose ends and I am very excited to see the campus that I will be staying at and ...

... else but there is no tomato on the base. Its very different but nice. After trying a take out slice the other night we decided to sit and have a pizza to share. The pizza was huge, after a slice we are over half full. Its was delicious - a definate must try.

... foods. Whole Foods is like the Woolworths and has alot of all organic foods (check the bunch of tomatoes and the huge onion). Its amazing how the pre-packed food is, you get breakfasts on the go, snacks on the go, dinner packs - all frozen of course. The choices you have, wow - every flavour, in every type of grain - like pop tarts, there is a whole aisle (half the side of our aisle size) to choose from. There are a variety of restaurants. The food courts in the malls ...

... poached eggs. We both decided that salad was probably the better choice even if it really wasn't a breakfast food. The confusion didn't end there though, we then had to decide what dressing we wanted. After breakfast we made our way to the subway station and caught the next train to Wall St. This is another area that is heavily protected by police with one side of the road blocked. We checked out the church and cemetery at ...

... to the hostel and packed and set up the computer. Chatted to the Danish guys again and went to bed. Thursday 25th October and our last Day in America and this stage of our trip. We met up with a friend from the summer camp called Sam and she joined us for lunch and caught up on gossip. It was so good to see someone from camp and made us realise how long ago it seemed even though it was only 2 months ago. We had done so much at camp and now realised we had done so much since camp ...

... Following this I went for a stroll around to see Madison Square Gardens. Which oddly enough actually is not square at all, but rather more like a circle. Hmm, all well. It would of been great if there was a game on their. But not today. Keeping my heavy tourist schedule alive I now decided to go for a boat cruise around Manhattan to see the sights from the water. This was also a pretty good experience. It is nice ...
