The plan was to be in New York between 8.30-9.30 this morning. This didn't happen! Instead we got in at 10.30am and headed straight to the Rockefeller Centre. The queue wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was still around 11.45am by the time we actually got to the top. The lift up was a new experience- the top is see-through and there are all these flashing lights and music on the way up! The views up at the top were pretty cool- you can see Central Pa...

We had a big lie in this morning which was nice. I'm still not feeing well but I wanted to start seeing the sights so we got ready, grabbed something to eat and caught the shuttle to the bus stop to catch the bus into New York. It was horrible- the traffic was horrendous and what should have taken 40 minutes took almost 2 hours!! It didn't put me in the best of moods. It was 3pm at this point. We went to see New York's public library (as I won't get a chance...

Again the first thing I did when I woke up was check for messages regarding flights but this morning there was no message. I got in touch with them and they said it wasn't looking good for getting a flight out. They said they couldn't get out until 1st but Kelly and I are leaving on the 3rd so that seems pretty pointless. Really upset right now. Still unwell too and the last thing I felt like doing was lugging our bags all the way to New Jersey! But we had to...

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...
