NEW YORK

ok folks here is a quick run down of my trip and places i managed to visit.

1. The Statue Of Liberty and Ellis Island.......out of this world but could not believe the security we had to go through to get to see it.
2. The Empire State Building......What fantastic views across the city, a sight definately not to be missed.
3. Central park...What can i say all those lovely coloured trees.
4.Ground Zero... A very eerie place but glad i went, it still has a melted girder made into a cross on the site where the towers were.
5.Little Italy, China Town,5th Ave,Broadway,Times Square,etc.
6. I even went up on a rooftop on 5th ave and looked on the street below, what a sight that was.
7.We went to Trump tower and even had our photo taken with Kevin who is in the second series of The Apprentice, YES I MET SOMEONE WHO IS A LITTLE FAMOUS, what a really nice
guy.
8We did the subway and didn't get lost,it was just so good for Samantha and David to take me to all the places i wanted to see. The shopping was fantastic and bought lots of goodies home for the kids and Andy,even more so for me,i must admit the wardrobe is now a bit fuller and with some new handbags to match.
What is a girl to do when she visits a shopping haven like that ,but shop, i also just happened to swan into tiffany and co, and of course just had to buy a wee something, which unfortunately set off the security alarms at the airport, and had to have my bag all searched .BUT hey it was worth it.Oh yes and jammy me got upgraded into club class.Little old me next to all the buisiness men, gosh did i feel important.
So all to say now is a very big thankyou to Samantha ,David and Amelie for giving me such a fantastic week and i shall be popping back in 2006. Also thanks to a great hubby for looking after everything at home for me and for buying my ticket to go. A big hug and kiss to all of you.
