One of the main reasons I have not been blogging is because I have been to New York… We really didn’t think we were going to make it after having our plane cancelled twice due to the volcanic ash, we ended up having to leave two days later than planned but added an extra few days on to the end of the trip to make up for it!
The reason we went to New York was to attend Jason’s school friends wedding at the magnificent Mandarin Oriental Hotel, this gave us the perfect opportunity to explore the city with old friends. Even though I have been to the Big Apple several times, I love becoming a tourist and trying something new and touristy, this time we opted for a Circle Line Cruise around Manhattan, carriage ride in Central Park, a trip to the American Museum of Natural History (we love the Night at the Museum movies) and of course some shopping on Fifth Avenue. Jason hates been classed as a tourist so always tries to find something that native New Yorker would do, he got to go to the driving range at Chelsea Pier and have a Papaya Grey’s hotdog! Of course no trip to New York would be complete without seeing a show on Broadway and we were lucky enough to see American Idiot, which was truly amazing!
