It's a bit of a retrospective post, this one, but he's been bugging me non-stop about when his visit is going to appear on my blog =0P. If you MUST know, I was waiting for photos to be developed. Now that I've joined the digital revolution, my mega camera now only comes out on very special occasions. I've finally had the remaining film developed though and now, by means of this glorious little anecdote (which I'm sure you all appreciated) I can say here you go hun, this one's for you. So far anyone that doesn't know already and hasn't had to listen to me whine on about my lovely boyfriend being on the other bloody side of the world, my lovely boyfriend Simon is currently on the other bloody side of the world. While I'm ... read more

I just got back from New York, NY, visiting my best friend Jake and his girlfriend Liz. They live in the lower west side of Manhattan, right near NYU and Soho...Their apartment is 2x as big as my Jeep Cherokee and, needless to say, we were a bit cramp. But being so close to each other brought some great times. Jake works for a music television station called Fuse and is somewhat handy with a video camera. After compiling all his footage from our graduation roadtrip a couple summers ago, he made this amazing "movie" (and its a real movie!) of all of us throughout those amazing 16 days. It turned out so great. Copies will be made available at the producers discretion. This was my 3rd time to NYC so we definitely didn't do the ... read more

My time in New York

The Statue of Liberty

So my first travleing adventure after college (not that college wasn’t an adventure on it's own) was New York City! I had a 6 month scholarship with the American Foundation for the Blind working in their Communication Department. The job was only a small part my time there, the best memories come from the friends I made. I lived in the Menno House (it was first started by Mennonites, and is affordable housing for students, volunteers and such), though I'm not Mennonite and not everyone living there was. It was a rough start, most of my roommates didn't like me, but don't worry I soon grew on them, and now they love me! I had friends and family come visit me in the Big Apple, and did touristy stuff with them. My favorite times were doing ... read more

Well, after 4 weeks of travelling across the United States and into Canada I have now made it back to New York. I had an amazing trip, met some fantastic people and had lots of laughs. The highlights of the trip for me were completing a 12 mile hike in Glacier National Park with breath taking views, enjoying a fish supper in Seattle, going to Alcatraz and spending a day at good old Disneyland! I now have 6 nights in NYC before I come home.... read more

For the first time in the metropolis per antonomasia! My girlfriend Elektra and I decided to go to NYC to visit the city and a friend of hers, Chryssa. Chryssa's house is in Weehawken, NJ and that was our starting point for the daily trips to Manhattan. Enjoy the pics!... read more

Empire State

Sara Nick

We spent three night here at the Jazz on the Park hostel in uptown Manhatten. This was the first and last time we decided to share a dorm room in the States because it was pretty scummy and Sara got an unpleasant view in the morning of the man in the next bunk with no pants. Anyway, we spent a few days just wandering round the city doing the usual stuff - a ferry past the Statue of Liberty, walked through Central Park, went up the Empire State, visited a museum and bought some flip flops.... read more

Hey y'all!! I made it to the big apple on Monday, though packing lasted well into the night. By the way mum, it was a max of 32kg per case, not overall, so I could have brought a whole other bag of junk. Damn it... After a fairly uneventful flight in my "window seat" which didn't have a window (the guy in front did, so I tried leaning forward and peering out of his only to have my face whacked as he gently reclined his chair), I made it into Newark, got through customs and immigration quickly and without fuss. Until getting out at the other end. A Mountbatten ambassador was stood nervously waiting for the onslaught of jetlagged women from Edinburgh and Dublin, only to find that not only were we cramped and jetlagged, but ... read more

Jon and me went up to NYC for a 5 days to check out the big apple. It was an amazing city, nothing like i had ever seen before. We stayed in Manahattan a couple blocks from time square which turned out to be a great location, did not have to travel much to get to the sites. We went to a Yankees game while there which was good. About 3 months earlier we bought tickets to the US open that was in NYC while we were there, we had tickets to the finals. And it turned out to be the hottest ticket item in NYC that weekend when Agassi ended up in the final against Federer. That was one of the coolest parts of trip being at that event. Unfortunately Agassi came up a little ... read more
