When it comes to cities in the United States, New York City is a true icon. It’s a vibrant, bustling metropolis that draws millions of visitors from around the world every year. From the bright lights of Times Square to the sprawling green oasis of Central Park, there’s no shortage of things to see and …
After breakfast in the hotel, we got in the car and drove to Stamford station (which is only about 5mins away), We parked the car, bought our tickets and the train came about 15 mins later. It took an hour to get into Grand Central Terminal. We then caught the subway downtown to the East …
Goodbye Montauk Manor! We set off around 11am this morning for Stamford, CT. Although the town in itself doesn’t have that much of interest, we’ve decided that we would head to New York City for the day tomorrow and we can catch the train from here. We arrived mid afternoon and after checking in, we …
Today we checked out the sights of Montauk. We started off at the Montauk Lighthouse which is one of the first buildings commissioned by the newly formed USA in the late 1700’s by President George Washington himself. We got to go through the lighthouse keepers cottage (which is now a small museum) and then climb …
We went for another walk along the Boardwalk this morning to check out the souvenir shops.

We also noticed that we just missed the Miss America competition which is run in Atlantic City – …
We woke up early this morning and said our goodbyes and then jumped on the subway back to JFK Airport. We spent just over 6 hours on the plane back to Los Angeles and then caught our shuttle to the hotel. We’re staying across the road from Knott’s Berry Farm (a theme park) and we’re …
Our last full day in New York City was spent seeing Central Park. We also checked out The Plaza Hotel and FAO Schwarz Toy Store. There was a massive piano in one of the rooms in the toy store selling for $250,000! We saw lots of squirrels in Central Park and took a walk around …
Today’s weather was not so good, it rained for most of the morning and was overcast for most of the afternoon. We started the day off slowly and then headed to Rockefeller Centre to the ‘Top of the Rock’ Observation Deck to take in some amazing views of Central Park and the Empire State Building. …
This morning started off with something quite fancy – Sunday Brunch at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. After brunch we went to Times Square to try our luck with purchasing some tickets for a show tonight – we got some to Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. We also had our 5 minutes of fame on a billboard …
Today was another jam packed day! We started with the September 11th Memorial which was amazing to see – they have two big ‘memorial pools’ where the towers stood, and it really puts how big they are into perspective. After that we went further downtown to see Wall Street, the bull, Battery Park, we then …
