We awoke on Thursday morning later, and packed up to check out of our first hotel. We left our luggage with the hotel, and had some breakfast at a fab deli. Pancakes and maple syrup! We then headed along to the Waldorf Astoria to see if there was any chance of an early check-in. The Waldorf is so grand, and busy. We went to the reception, and the gentleman took our names, he said "oh, you've been upgraded to a suite, a very nice suite". We tried to play it cool, we'd already booked a suite, but only a small one! "in fact", he continued "it is 900 sq ft, $6,000.00 a night, of course you won't be paying that though!" We darent look at eachother incase we screamed with excitement!!! G had emailed them months ... read more

Up early to return the rental car... and head to City Hall to get our marriage licence. Wed been pre-warned to arrive early as it can be busy. We hailed a taxi down to the Financial District, and found City Hall. We went in and were confronted with a big reception desk, and a bloke who asks why you are there. He then pushes a button and gives you a specific ticket, then tells you to wait in line. It was a bit like waiting for your goods in Argos. There are computer screens showing the numbers and telling you which desk to go to for service when its your turn. It was an interesting experience, if you enjoy people watching. All sorts of people heading into the chapel, where a marriage takes 36 seconds apparently. ... read more

First Day - away we go! We left Aberdeen at 630am to head to Heathrow, after only 3 hours sleep - far too excited!!! As we were flying BA, we had 2 hours to look around the new T5, before heading off to NY!! Our flight was delayed as someone tried to board with an expired passport - grrrr! Laura was panicking as we had tickets to a concert in Pennsylvania that evening, and time was tight. As the flight boarded, in blocks of rows, we were almost last to head up. As we got to the boarding desk, the woman explained we could have boarded ages ago, we'd been upgraded to Business Class (£3,000.00 per seat!). Free champagne for Laura, as Graham was driving when we arrived in NY!!! We'd planned to have a ... read more
