Exploring...

We have finally arrived...and it is absolutely amazing!!!

I have to be honest it feels a little surreal at the moment, big cars, big streets, massive buildings, yellow cabs...it feels like you are on a movie set, but I have to say New York is already growing on me.

Our hotel is just a very short walk from the centre of Times Square, where we watch every New Year the drop ball come down, and now that we have checked in to our hotel we are going to potter off and explore...and probably eat...lots!!,

Our flight out was great, and we were accompanied by two very lovely girls, Harriett and Siobhan, who individually were doing their own thing in NY, but they made the journey so much more fun. They joined us in a glass of champagne (thanks to Pootle) and maybe a glass of G&T as well...

Harriettellen is starting her own textile business and making children's books, so here is her link harriettellen.moonfruit.com She confesses that she has only just set up her website, but she is a girl who will go far and was lovely to chat to. Siobhan was the leading press officer for Ted Baker, and was off to meet her boyfriend in NY weekend; again she was a delight to chat to, from Oz so Pootle felt very comfortable...and I hope that we have both made friends with two lovely women today who will stay in our lives for some time.

So...we have our itinary, we are ready to eat Chinese out of boxes and have a slice of pizza...have a great evening guys...but for now we are off to explore.
