Clash City Rocker Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We were there in February. If you are going sightseeing at Statue of Liberty/Statton Island try and "pre-book" the ferry, Loads of people had done this, but not us !!!!!. We queued for the ferry for over 3 hours at 09.00 am. (Minus 8 and 10 inches of snow). The coldest I've ever been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 How fantastic. We would like to go to New York, we'll get there sometime. Our DD has been and says that its fantastic. She's always going on about going back. Congratulations for your 25th. It is ours also this year in September (doing motorbike tour to Italy I think - its in the planning stage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Congrats and have a lovely time. My daughter flew out there yesterday so I've been checking the weather, looks nice. I can't wait to visit America some time, I want to go to a giant supermarket and leave carrying stuff in a big brown bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm excited at the thought of it but haven't done a long journey on the bike so a bit at the thought of it but hey ho its different and it'll be great doing something just the two of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 How fantastic... went there with my DD for a long weekend a couple of years ago...We walked for miles and miles so take comfy shoes... I can recommend the buses for getting about (you can buy tickets at the subway stations)...can't remember which way round it is now, but they go either up odd numbered and down even numbered streets (or the other way round), and a similar thing with east to west..so basically you only have to walk across or down a block to find a bus. have fun....there's a lot more to NY than shopping!!!
