Hello everyone!!! We arrived in JFK New York around 9am; we had to make our way to Flushing Meadows on the tube system where we were staying; it was easy really. We took the JFK loop train to Jamaica Street then changed to the brown line until Jackson Street, here we changed to the 7 line to 111th Street and then it was just a 5 min walk to the Holiday Inn we were staying in. My cousin Paul had really helped us out and sorted us out two free nights here via his reward points. Thanks again Paul!!! The room was amazing, we had a penthouse room and it was huge! It had a King bed, a bath, free coffee machine, TV, and a great view. We stayed in the hotel for a little bit ... read more

Hi friends, Family and Bloggers, Today we had a long day a head of us travelling to JFK via Sao Paulo.

It was therefore easy for catching the bus and getting to the airport. We arrived 2 hours before our flight and checked in. The airport is tiny-so we couldn’t get our expensive tester creams and perfume fix. ... read more

Hey People, The priority today was finding a quiet place in the busy hostel for my phone interview with Carnival UK. After a disturbed sleep in our 9-bed dorm by the noisiest snorer I’ve ever had to endure, it wasn’t the best start. I prepared a few notes in the morning before I set the laptop up in the common room in preparation for the phone call. It seemed to be louder than usual in the common room today, which is just my luck, so Neil asked the reception if there was a spare room available to sit in that could still pick up the Internet connection. There was so; I moved the laptop into the room 10 minutes into the call. Anyway after an hour of trying to find every slither of sales experience I ... read more
