Our Holiday - part 1 (at last)
Well here it is, my first post on our long awaited holidy for anybody that might be interested!!
I will probably do a few posts as we saw such lot and it will be a record for myself to keep.
I hope I don't bore everyone to much!! :)
We had to be at Glasgow Airport at 6am for our 9 o'clock flight, this meant a very early start of 4am (yikes that's the middle of the night in my book). We made it and we were sitting around for quite a while so I went to duty free and bought myself a new bottle of my favourite perfume (Clinique's Happy, I love that perfume).
We were finally called for boarding and were soon on our way to the United States. It was a great flight and I can totally recommend United Airlines.
We even landed about half an hour early :))
We got train to Penn Station and walked the 20 blocks or so to our hotel, oohing and aahing as we walked.
I'm not a busy town type of girl and I wasn't that sure I would really like NY too much but boy I LOVED it. All of that hustle and bustle, the tall buildings and wonderful Central Park.
It was all just wonderful :))
Anyway I've got lots of pictures so I'll put some of them up.
I seemed to be looking up all the time
I love all the reflections in the buildings - great weather is always a benefit.
Central Park
I wondered what all of these people were painting
It was this beautiful tree!!
Outside the Rockefella Centre in the evening.
The Empire State Building - awesome views from here.
We even went up to the 102nd floor :))
It looked like there was a restaurant on the top of this building.
The view from the 102nd floor.
Sunset from the Rockefeller Center
Empire State Building
Flat Iron Building
We visited the Natural History Museum where we saw lots of these:
New York Library
where the original Winnie The Pooh and friends are kept - how cute are they? :))
There was so much we didn't get time to do and our two days in New York passed way too quickly and it was time to go and catch our Amtrak train to Boston!!!
to be continued :))

Looking forward to the next chapter in your holiday saga.

i don't LOVE the city but we go often. you were only about an hours car ride from me when you were here in the city!!
isn't that wild, you saw the best of what the city has to offer, and i do love central park!!
Although I seldom comment on blogs, I want you to know I enjoy reading yours and have missed reading it, but I'm so glad you had a wonderful vacation (holiday).
Since you didn't mention it, I wondered if you knew that you had two pictures of the new World Trade Center, pictures 13 & 16 (counting from the top). With the spire, it's the tallest building in the world.
Tigger has always been my favorite of the Winnie the Pooh characters and I'm wondering if he bounced around on his tail when you saw him. By the way, when I was in the 4th grade (9 years old), my teacher read the stories to us. I'm 75 now, but I remember that as one of life's best experiences.
Looking forward to your next chapter.
