So long California, Hello New York City
... 0 - 2 hours to board you on another flight, then you are compensated 200% of the one way fare to your destination, if it had been over 2 hours, then you have got 400%. I was written a cheque for $470 dollars. I could not believe my luck. It pays to keep your cool. Wow, we were all amazed by what happened. 2 minutes before we were mad and now we were over the moon.
Myself and Kelly were sat together on the flight over and ...
On the Hook
... Manhattan was certainly a really fun stop, but it was also a bit overwhelming the entire time. After being out for a week, we've already gotten used to the peace and quiet of being at sea. So many people and smells and sounds and so much to look at in the city - it made us all a bit claustrophobic I think.

Yes, West Africa is one of the world's poorest regions, but it would be inaccurate to view the lack of material wealth as miserable destitution. Yes, ...
New York - a fantastic city to end the trip in
... we went to a Stand Up show at Gotham Comedy Club (recommended). Nice day all in all. And not to forget, went to a Wine Bar after the stand-up show. Design that would have been a success in Norway as well. Next day I bought a MacBook, that was the biggest happening for me at least. Rest of the week was filled with good breakfasts, shopping (mostly Banana Republic and Century 1), going to the movies, travelling ...
