Nicola H Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 We have just returned from a much needed holiday if you can call going to New York a holiday we were up at 6am every day so that we could fit in all the exciting things we had planned for each day. We had a great time the children Tom 16 and Emily 10 just loved it Emily was as high as a kite for the whole 5 days we were there, I took over 500 photographs so too many to put on the forum but here are just a few which might be of interest............... View of the chrysler building taken from the Empire State building..... The Statue of Liberty......... Organic New York Deli.........Now which cheese was it I wanted........ Emily and Jeff in the Museum of Natural History..... Ground zero, they are now building the Freedom tower on the site and this was just across the road from our hotel...... Ellis Island......... Omlet T-Shirt, just had to be done in Times Square much from the children and Jeff........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right it is the Millenium UN Plaza............We had such a good time and still didn't see everything not enough hours in the day but we will be going back...........Once the credit card recovers we spent so much that Jeff kept getting calls from Egg to ask if the card had been stolen.....................

Cate in NZ Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Lovely pics Nicola, it looks like you had a great time . I'd love to visit New York, not had the opportunity so far, but it just looks like a fabulous place to visit Isn't it one of those trips where you need a holiday after you get back to recover from the exhaustion of trying to squeeze everything in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Fab pictures, Nicola! I'm green with envy - I've always wanted to go to New York, 'do' the shops, take in a couple of hockey games at MSG, and bring in the New Year in Times Square. Sadly, all my hints to chookiehubbie have fallen on deaf ears so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Shona, im doing the same to my OH .....for years I have been badgering him to go there...he gave in with the eglu, but New york is gonna be a tougher nut to crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I'm still working on it Chelsea - the trick is to wait till he's sleeping then spend half an hour whispering in his ear "Christmas shopping in New York....Rangers V Islanders at MSG.......kissing strangers in Times Square when the ball drops......New York, New York....." over and over and over again, every night, until he wakes up one day and says, "You know what, hun - I think we should spend a couple of weeks in New York. Over Christmas and New Year. And you know what, even though I hate ice hockey, i have a sudden desire to see a Rangers/Islanders match at MSG" Job done.....

feemcg Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Great pics, I'm so jealous! - was all booked up to go for my 40th (helicopter flight on the morning of my birthday, dinner cruise at night, staying in a suite in Waldorf Towers), then OH got rushed to hospital the week before and had an op the day after my birthday . Frightened to book it up again in case its tempting fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 the photos look fab, I would so love to go to NY (couperman are you listening ) we watched Ghostbusters 2 the other night - it was the one where they had "Liberty" striding down the street to go and save the day so cheesy - but so much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sounds like a plan...he's asleep on sofa now...no time like the present Get those Frank Sinatra albums out Chelsea! Will help with the subliminal persuasion!. Great photo's Nicola. I love the Omlet T-shirt one! I have a friend in New York. I have always planned to go and visit, but have never made any solid plans. I'm regretting it now as it will have to wait until Stefan is a bit older and we have a bit more spare cash. Maybe we should plan an Omlet meet there!
