Today was the first time that we both felt slightly worse for Wear. Which was understandable after a big birthday out in the sun. Still we had things we needed to do before our trip came to an end. While getting ready I purchased our tickets online for the One World Trade Center. This proved to be a massive time saver as when we arrived the line for tickets was round the building. Inside we had to queue, but it kept on moving. We did slightly regret not just pay...

BIRTHDAY! I woke feeling fresh and decided to head into Prospect Park to run the loop. 3.68 miles in 23 degree heat, 91% humidity setting off just before 9am, ain’t bad for my fist day as a 34 year old. Stefan once again kindly made bacon and eggs. I ate mine with a lovely Bagel, while Becky and I both Irished up our coffees. Stefan, Becky and I set off on a mad dash to try and make the noon sailing of the beast. Stefan dashed down the stairs to grab the Q t...

We made it all the way without stopping and therefore hit the city just after lunch time so traffic was not a huge problem for us. Becky and I then headed into Manhattan to go to the Top of the Rock.

I made breakfast of bacon & eggs for everyone while Stefan went out for a run too. Upon his return we headed north for lunch. One hour took us into Vermont state and lunch was had at the Billington brewery. Becky bless her didn’t have the greatest time, not ...

Without setting any alarms Becky and I were both up at 8:00 which meant we were only five minutes late for our scheduled departure time of 8:35am. The hardest part of the journey was getting north out of the New York City area from South Brooklyn. Emily negotiated the morning traffic extremely well in the rain. After about an hour we finally reached the interstate and things started to open up. The first part of the journey was spent listening to chilled out 90...
