OK, so let me firstly say OMG! I can't believe I'm in New York!! I have wanted to visit this city since I was about five years old, and you know, it was worth the wait! There are no real words to describe this town, the only word I do use, and quite often, is AWESOME!
We arrived at the hotel at around 7:30pm. By that time it was down to about 2 degrees celcius. Considering we had just come from 30 degree temperatures, it was quite a shock to the system! The temperature meant nothing though, we were in New York!
We dropped our bags, freshened up and headed for where else, but Times Square. We are very lucky with the location of our hotel as it seems that most things are within walking distance, particularly Times Square.
You know, before we arrived we had heard that New Yorker's were rude, that the city was dirty etc etc etc. I am here to tell you that every person we have come across, even those that we stop in the street to ask for directions, has been nothing but polite, patient and extremely helpful. Great accents too!
We were heading back to the hotel after dinner and sight seeing and this dark skinned man walked out from the darkened shadows of the street and whispered "you want bags? Louis Vuitton, Chanel?". Wizzy was so excited, the only thing she really wanted in NY was a good fake handbag. She ended up with 2! Ash purchased a Chanel as did Missy. The whole experience was hysterical! It was more like a drug deal than a handbag purchase.
When we returned to the hotel we couldn't believe that we had only been in NY for four hours! We were exhausted from no sleep the night before, but wired due to the buzz of the city.
