Hi Everyone,
Well, I think most of you over on FB are already aware of this knowledge but I'd been waiting for a reasonable timeframe before posting it here.
5 weeks today (being Tue, June 2 where I'm sitting right now :lol: ) myself and the LegoKing are flying to New York!
Yep, I'm actually going onto the mainland of the US (have been to Hawaii but apparently for many this does not count....)
Alas, as the tickets were a) a gift (from my mum) & b) cheap it is a 'direct' flight. A direct flight is 21hrs of travel from Brisbane to New York btw :? However I get a 2hr change plane/terminal dashin Los Angeles.
The "Financial Crisis" meant when I say cheap tickets that both LegoKing & I are travelling for the same cost it was for my mum to go 18mths ago on her own :o
It is not what I had planned as my American trip. I really had wanted to do the Land on one side & visit friends/family there then train trip to the other side so I could take in some various Hellmouther cities & have many coffees 8-) . So, for that I apologise. My other half says I'll just have to wrangle a HUGE book deal so I can say "But I REALLY need to go to Houston, Lawrence, New Orleans (& Myth I haven't had coffee & am brain snapping your city)...." I mean on one level California would be easy.
Fiat - you would have to go north wouldn't you :lol: .
Okay. So there you have it. Me. In New York for 10 days.
Which reminds me if Ramones comes by - OI!!!! I'm still looking at you soul sis. Still working out the NY/Chicago/dates able to etc options............ :D That is not off the agenda! If I'm going to sit on a plane for 21 hrs next to the 6' LegoKin :o I'm by golly gee gosh going to do my damndest to get to meet at least one of you!!!!
So........any comments? Recommendations? Ideas for food/visits/things to be very afraid of (my sister & her husband do not count as I've already counted this fact in :lol: ).
