Woke up at 6.45am and the first thing I did was check my phone for messages; I had 2 confirming what I had been dreading- their flight had been cancelled! :( Th weather was so bad overnight. It was the worst storm New Yorkers have seen for years! It wasn't until I was having breakfast and the news was on that I realised just how bad the weather was- it affected all forms of transport to the point where nothing was running and the news reporter was saying if y...

I woke up feeling like someone had been standing on my chest all night! It was horrible. We didn't do much this morning but I wanted to get out this afternoon (despite the fact that it started snowing this morning and got very deep very quickly). This was a big mistake as I just started feeling so much worse once I was outside. Me, Mike and Kelly got to Central Park and we went to Strawberry Fields and saw part of the 'Imagine" memorial, but the weather so g...

We got on the subway and ended up getting off at the wrong stop. I found the subway system a little confusing at first. We were in Union Square so we had a little wander around there before getting back on the subway and headed to Times Square. It was pretty cool during the day but I w...

So we left Boston this morning to catch the 10.00am bus to New York. The journey took just over four hours and we got dropped off at a random bus stop. It wasn't even near a station so we didn't really know where we were or where we needed to get to and although there was no snow it was absolutely freezing and very windy. We asked directions and and decided to walk some of the way so we didn't end up spending a fortune on a cab, but after walking around 15 blocks...
