The Sherry-Netherland New York City

Tuesday rolled around and yes, it was still blustery cold outside. And the snow had not gone anywhere since it had yet to be over freezing since it fell on Saturday. Which is normal for everyone in NY but for a girl from Alabama, dang. I'm ready by now to not have to wear 3 layers with a hat, gloves, scarf, boots and long coat to go outside. Oh,...

Well, this hotel nearly was as bad as the one in 'The Shining' – I kept expecting Jack Nicholson to come crashing through the door with an axe! To start with the rooms décor was a bit old, bathroom sink cracked etc, but hey, we're not that fussy – that was until I spotted the long black hair stuck to the shower wall with an accom...

Kaliet thought she saw her sister as her and Benny were getting the last thing she wanted, as a reward for being such a good student he got her three things: a necklace, a few hair combs, and some new sandals; all to match her dress, but as the graceful figure on the white horse got closer she saw that it was Vanity. Someone was with her.

The following morning was the drive in
to New York, and was the final 'Sardine like sleep formation' of the
trip'. By now Michelle had concluded if you had not seen her backside
in one way or another you must have been in the wrong place, as it is
not easy getting in and out of clothes without the truck drivers
seeing you. Finally...

My luggage finally arrived!! I was very excited to change out of my jeans, which I have been wearing for 3 days straight now.

I celebrated by going to Time Square and looking at flashing lights. Bit of a quiet day today, read a book in Central Park and went up to the top of the Rockefeller Center to look at the view. It was raining, bu...

Day 122 New York City Day 2 in the Big Apple The breakfast bar in this hotel is self serve, it certainly is adequate for our requirements, with cereal, toast, boiled eggs and waffles available. A great start for the day planned of being serious big Apple tourists. Walked out the front and a shuttle bus was already picking up passengers, so we pi...

Final day in New York! I had planned to take the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty this morning, but they were all cancelled due to the crazy weather that was covering the city. My fall-back plan was to go up to the top of the Rockefeller Centre, known as the 'Top of the Rock'. The Rock is only a few floor shorter than the Empire State buildin...

Hi everyone, we have just arrived in Washington after four amazing days in NYC. Our flight from heathrow was fine and managed to get some tips from a Puerto Rican guy on the plane who knew Manhattan well. So we turned up at our hostel which was pumping out some ghetto tunes (of course we fitted right in!) and were greeted at reception by some gu...

Alex, Jose and I took the train from Connecticut to NYC. It was so awesome! We arrived at Grand Central Station in the morning and walked out onto 42nd Street. I marvelled at the beautiful cielings in the terminal and was in awe of the chandeliers. We walked about town, then took a taxi (via the FDR, under the Manhattan bridge and Brooklyn bridg...

Well, we've been so busy I have not been able to keep up with the messages and pictures. I think the heat and the two little angels are wearing us out each day it is too difficult to get online and type! Our first full day in NY City was so long ago I have forgotten what we did lol. I do remember the early hours of the morning when Kaleb woke up...
