We had a bit of a sleep in on Saturday as we had tickets booked to do a studio tour of NBC at 11:30am so didn't bother doing anything beforehand. It was quite good and informative, although they do give away many trade secrets so it will spoil the illusion from now on. We saw the sets of the Nightly News, Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live but none were "working" so we just got to see them. They also showed us how they apply makeup, including some makeup chang...

Hello!! We've had a very busy couple of days. Yesterday, we headed out at lunch time, walking up 5th Avenue towards uptown. We admired the Flatiron Building which is almost cute. It is in the shape of a triangle and one point is only 6 feet across. Can't figure out what furniture they put in that corner as it's rounded as well... We also visited Madison Square Park (not to be confused with Madison Square Gardens the stadium a few blocks across town) and found a ...

Happy New Year to you all!! We hope 2009 is treating you well so far! Yesterday, we got up a bit later than normal and I headed out to meet Sam (a friend from uni who studied in the US last semester and is now staying for next semester too!) at Radio City.

There were already peop...

And, true to our luck, our flight was delayed 35 minutes! At least the delays are getting shorter! It meant we didn't arrive into JFK airport until about 4:20pm and so we got stuck in peak hour traffic. It was terrible! But we got a great look at the city and we drove through Times Square the day before the big celebration and the place was buzzing. There were already so many police and cameras and the stages were being set up and people were just watching...so m...

We have been busy relaxing and not doing too much so there has not been much to keep you up to date on. We have been seeing a few of the bars of Nashua and surrounds and wandering through woods, except Sunday.... On Sunday, we took a road trip to Boston. It took about 45 minutes to drive there from where we were staying....all I can say is that I wouldn't want to do it in peak hour! We parked underneath the Boston Common which is like Boston's answer to Central ...
