New York, New York

I'm here! After 28 hours of travel since leaving home, I have been in New York for 3 hours. In this time I have: eaten a hot dog; seen navy dudes; been utterley overwhelmed by the sheer LIGHT of Times Square; walked 42nd Street; 5th Avenue; crossed Madison Avenue; seen the Chrysler Building; and learned that the police station in Times Square has a flashing pink and blue neon sign;

Lapsed

Oh dear, oh dear. It would appear that ocne again I have lapsed in my blogging. I guess I should face the truth- my facebook statuses (stati?) have overtaken blogging in my life. It's a good thing I don't Tweet, or I'd never write on this damn blog.

Anyway, the pattern seems to be that I blog when a) I'm on school holidays or b) I am travelling. And hurrah, very soon I'll be doing both simultaneously. I'm one day into school holidays (woot!) and one day away from overseas travel.

Yes, on a crazy and unaffordable whim I am heading to America. Who would have thought I would EVER go to America, but now that it's imminent I am enormously excited! After an argument/bet with Nick about how cheap flights were (he won), I booked myself flights to visit New York and Toronto (where my cousin is on exchange and my travel friend Dave is soon to be married).

And so, I find myself about 36 hours away from a 23 hour travel stint. And I just cant wait :) Thanks to all of my wonderful friends and family, by the way, who have ensured I have broadway shows and attraction passes prepared, and lots of exciting experiences to look forward to it. I'M GOING TO NEW YORK!!
