Day 3 - "Rain, rain, go away..." Today was Andrew's birthday, hooray! Though sadly we woke up to the rain pishing down...what a sad sight! We ate a miserable, bedraggled breakfast, and then ran back to the room to open Andrew's bday presents. This brightened up the morning somewhat! Amongst other things, I had organised a massage for Andrew as a birthday treat, so he went off to be pushed and pummelled. While he was there, the rain abated for a bit so I went rou...

Day 2 - "The Windmills of my Mind..." We started the day with some buffet breakfast at the hotel, which for me was an eclectic mix of cucumber, feta cheese, scrambled egg, sausage and tomato ketchup. Andrew opted for the far more trad toast and marmalade, coffee and Greek yoghurt...I then had a whistle stop tour of the local supermarkets to find some swimming shorts for Andrew as I had forgotten to pack them (whoops! But how about you do your own packing JUST SA...

Day 1 - "Holiday-ay! Celebra-ate!" We have arrived in Mykonos! I started the day belting out Madonna's hit, excited at the prospect of holidaying to a new Greek island...will it be beautiful? What will the tzatziki be like? Where can I get a Mythos? So many questions...Our flight with British Airways (oh B-Ave...) was delightfully roomy, and despite a group of banterific (ie twattish) boys and their auxiliary, space invading slaggy girls, it was a fine flight. I...

Day 7. Final day! How depressing! The good thing is that we had a late flight, so could spend the day squeezing in a last bit of sightseeing. After checking out of the hotel we went to Brooklyn to go to Target so Andrew could buy some American tat to bring home (ie peanut butter M and Ms and cookie dough). Then we had about five hours to kill before leaving for the airport, so we went to see what the High Line's all about. Everyone I have spoken to who has been ...

Day 6. Our penultimate day! NOOOO! To try and push away any leaving blues, we needed something energetic and peppy to start the day. Where better than Ellen's Stardust Diner? Loads of people have recommended this place. It's a diner on Broadway just up from Times Square, and the staff are all Broadway gals and gays who sing around you as you eat. It's f***ing ace. Surprisingly it's open for breakfast from 7am, so we had a massive NYC brekkie whilst they belted o...
