T'is the Big Manhattan Tour! Once we take off I will through out the pilot and live out my childhood dream of becoming Jan Michael Vincent! (Google his name if you don't get what I'm on about and you'll soon see:devil: )

You seem to need an awful lot of hols Lora, this is my first in three years and only my second time abroad in 25 years!

TBH, didn't fancy 35 miles by public transport with luggage at 21.30 so chauffeur was the only option, isn't really expensive, $60:slayer:

I can highly recommend this place,

http://www.chelsealodge.com/

not in the centre of New York, but Chelsea is a really cool area and 10 minutes on the Subway will get you into the centre. BTW, I dunno if you have been before but Manhattan is a hell of a lot smaller than you think. And we arrived in the worst blizzard for years when we went there in December so bring some warm clothes

You can buy your Empire State tickets online, so while you will have to queue to get up there, you can beat the queue to buy tickets.

It's funny, but New Yorker's have a reputation for being unfriendly, but we had a warm welcome wherever we went and found them really friendly and helpful.

Also worth a visit....

We did go to Ground Zero and it's wierd, looks like a big building site, then you look around and see the burnt out buildings around it, and pictures of the dead placed on the fences... then it starts to hit you what happened that day, was a very moving experience.

Such a great department store! I cannot get over how many expensive brands they have there. I bought myself some Michael Kors ear muffs at $25 and a Michael Kors purse for my mum at $60 through Century 21 Promo Code. We even went back later that day to scope out any more offers they had on, so many different things to choose from. I love the C21 store!
