New York update Mar 09

So, it’s fkn freeeeeeeezing here, like colder then in Dublin :( The average temp is -3 degree’s, good work me, not checking the weather and packing ‘lite’ haha anywho, it’s cold.

So arrived Monday arvo, got CONNED into getting a ‘private car’ after asking for a taxi, $100USD later I arrive at my hotel…. very spiffy, so all good, met up with Kent and Natasha and we were off to the NHL (Ice Hockey) I didn’t have a ticket, but decided to go along anyways to check out Madison Square Garden and maybe pick up a scalper ticket, got a ticket with a face value of $46 for $50USD, pretty happy with that! Not that the ticket mattered, we all got a seat together behind the goal – great seats :)

Tuesday was a day of walking around, trying to work out where is what, went into Rockafella Center and then down to ground zero – World Trade Center and home via Wall St and the financial district etc

Wednesday was a shopping day http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=7 I went mental and bought an arseload of shit, Quiksilver t-shirts were $5us per shirt, Levi’s were only $25us a pair, Nautica, Van Heuson, Adidas, Echo, Burbury, Ralph Lauren… I’ve had to buy a second suitcase to fit all the stuff in, haha

Thurs, went and did all the Tourist stuff again, NBC Studio tour, Top of the Rock, United Nations, then went on to see a Broadway show – Avenue Q which was piss funny, good times.

Today (Friday) went to Empire State Building – NY Skyride and Observatory, then did a 3 hour cruise around New York, saw the Statue of Liberty and all the islands in and around NY, good times.

So I am freaking tired, all the walking and tours etc takes it outta ya, I will upload some photo’s soon.

New York, New York Mar 04

Yes, it’s been nearly a month since I’ve updated the site!! But honestly, not alot going on, just work, work, work and booze, booze, booze – watching football (soccer) at the pub 2 or 3 nights a week, my gawd, I am getting some drinking in!

Anywho, I am off to New York tomorrow morning, cab arriving at 6am, should be at the airport for 6:30am ahead of a 9am flight – dead set can’t wait to get to NY, I know it’s only been a month since I was in Aus, but I really need this holiday hehe no really, I do!

Lots of things to see and do and then there is the shopping, with any luck I’ll be able to score some bargains with all my Euros!

I’ll post again from NY – where it’s COLDER then it is in Dublin :/ I picked the best time to go…
