... that GTs don't seem to understand. On a recent trip to New York, I left good ol' DTW at 7am for my flight into Newark. Being on a flight leaving at 7 means up shortly after 5, to the airport by 6, and out of Starbucks by 6:20, so I (since I do travel enough to be allowed to I) can pre-board and grab that last overhead bin before the GTs with their overstuffed rollaboards, company-issued oversized laptop bags, purses as big as army duffles, parkas and backpacks ...

... remains Venice. She's meeting a friend of hers in Venice to take Italian classes. She was truly a gem, so naturally we helped her through the check in which seemed to take forever. <br><br>2:30pm EST<br>Flight to JFK was decent - watched TV, had some water (too early for a cocktail) and snacks. Sitting in JFK at a ****** pub, drinking some NYC brew and wondering why all New Yorkers hate life. The woman on the other side of this laptop screen complained non-stop ...

... Square. The buildings all looked amazing at night and the view of the Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn was awesome.<br> When we got back we went for a meal at Bubba Gumps in Times Square (the Forest Gump themed restaurant) and had a really great night, not to mention lots and lots of food. You must try the onion rings here!<br> <br> Wednesday 02/09/09<br> <br> Again, up early. So much to do here and so little time, we kinda had to. We can sleep when we get back to the UK. We caught ...

My Background / NYC<br><br>Before I officially begin my blog - I should give a few details of my<br>background. I am an American Law student who is traveling to Leiden,<br>Netherlands to study abroad for 1 semester (August - December 2009). I<br>have never been to Europe - in fact, I've only been to Mexico one time<br>and that's my world travel experience. I've been to a few states, so<br>needless to say, I am far from a world traveler &amp; this trip is a<br ...

... up the floor in the far coroner of the shop. Like almost everyone I met in New York, including customs, these guys were both friendly and helpful. It was a nice way to dispel much of the prejudice I had just realised had been instilled deep within me. <br> A few minutes later, with only one hobo coming up to me and asking for money, I found my Hostel, tried my hardest no to wake the four people in my dorm up, and went to sleep, without Joss. <br><br>Sunday, 2 August, Day ...

... was AMAZING. Spooky beautiful. I can't wait to see it in the daylight too. I have never felt so small, but I have never felt so...powerful. As we were leaving the bridge it really dawned on me exactly what I am doing. I am young, poor, but having the time of my life. It's so exhilarating to be here and be experiencing all of this. I wish everyone the chance to leave their bubbles and comfort zones and experience what there is in the world. Going to try and upload some pictures now!

... about three years ago. She told me that she still sort of has an Irish boyfriend over there and they talk through skype. Her and another group member told me that I should go live over there (yay more inspiration). <br>A little while later, we made our way down to the Staten Island Ferry area to take the five minute ferry ride to governor's Island to see The Saw Doctors. The Saw Doctors is an Irish rock band that I originally heard about ...

... et Devin Wening, quand je pense que mes 20 années de service se retrouvent en partie dans le salon avec vue sur Manhattan de ses messieurs, je n'aurais pas travaillé pour rien !! L'après-midi, je reprends un bus a étage, cette fois ci pour aller dans l'autre sens, c'est a dire la Uptown Loop, cette partie moins connue que Downtown, est néanmoins intéressante, on remonte Central Park jusqu'à la 110eme, Lincoln Center, Muséum of Natural History, Cathedral St ...

... Asia in the past, it is that street food is the real deal here. 5 - Pampering! I love makeup and toiletries, so it pains me to leave home without my favorite goodies. Good thing I had enough sense to choose a region where the massages will be aplenty, and I can squeeze in a mani/pedi here and there. To prep for this trip, my first step was to buy my Lonely Planet from Amazon I still need ...

... but it didn't work. So I said hello to my future sister in law for the first time in my bran and underwear. She was good about it so I'm cool with her. Gotta love Chinese food in NY. Dinner was pleasant enough then I had to go home and pack to go to SF. Caught a couple of hours of sleep before my brother graciously took me to the airport at 4am. I met Mati there and I had another Sausage biscuit with egg. I can't get enough of those things. On the plane and off to San Fran.
