A jolly Hello in our best english accent, Well we've arrived in NYC, after a 10 hour trip from Peru. Had a warm welcomne from US imergration, they now take fingerprints and retina scans!! The hostels are pretty good, we're on Central Park West, which is a nice relaxed neighbourhood. We've not really seen any of the sights yet, we've been sorting out the small issue of a wedding. It's good fun spending our british pound, its 2 for 1 !! Marie has been pleasantly surprised by our yanky cousins. she's not beaten anyone up yet! On the whole people are very friendly and helpful. The posh accent must be helping... mate! Will keep you posted on the big day. Speak soon, Stew & Rie XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx
