We got into New York on the 14th of December - my birthday!! - and nearly froze when we got out of the terminal at 6am. We made our way over to the "Big Apple Hostel" and got ourselves organised for a few days of sight seeing. We were staying pretty much on Times square, which made sight seeing incredibly easy. Over the next few days we managed to see most of the major sights, including the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center site, Wall St etc. We managed to get to go to the Phantom of the Opera, which was playing at the Majestic Theatre and had awesome seats as well. But the Statue of Liberty was the one we got lucky on. We were talking to one of the guys who works there, ... read more

Christmas was coming up, so Vicks & I decided to go do some shopping in New York. Cutes was meeting us a few days later. Our first day was spent mostly shopping especially in FOREVER 21. We had bags full leaving the shop!!! That night we were going to Atlantic City with Bobby and Dez and we were staying at Borgata Hotel which was very nice. The hotel room was massive with a big massive bathroom with a tub that could fit two or more people in!!! The toilet even had a phone!!! We ordered room service (I had steak and lobster which was delicious) then made our way downstairs to the casino!!! I was hooked on Black Jack 21!!! I think I left the table at 6am the next morning winning, losing, winning, losing, then ... read more

29.09.2004 - I love NY NYC, New York, USA I love NY Yesterday Jeanne came from Florida on a working visit to New York. It rained like the gods had a conspiracy against us. Some tunnels of the subway were flooded and you almost needed a boat to cross some avenues. You can imagine the mess when trains remain on the stops in the city where 10 million people commute. Nothing is easier than falling in love with New York. This is the city that changes you forever, when you truly experience it. I feel I have not been here for 2 weeks, but 2 long and fun years. What impressed me so much? All these incredible people I met? Beautiful girls with whom I spent afternoons and evenings? A bike ride across Times Square? The ... read more

Sardines My girlfriend (Mon) and I arrived in Newark, New Jersey. I was there for a wedding, but she and I wanted to see New York. So we took a train to Manhattan, and stayed in a sardine can... err hotel. We stayed at the Washington Jefferson on 51 St. in Manhattan. The hotel was so tiny, it's not even funny. The room we stayed in (and this includes the bathroom) is like the size of a regular walk-in closet. Air train Newark International Airport. That's the first US airport I've seen besides LAX. In EWR, they have an "air train". I thought it's a maglev, but it's just a regular monorail. Manhattan We took the train to Manhattan and we arrived in Penn Station. She's been to New York before, so it's not new. We ... read more

Ja, dat lezen jullie goed. Vrijdag ga ik alweer naar huis en zaterdagochtend kom ik op Schiphol aan. Zodra ik thuis ben zal ik wel een wat uitgebreider verslag typen, dus ik hou het nou ff kort. Ben na Washington dus naar Philadelphia gegaan, waar ik 4 nachten gebleven ben. Daarna ben ik via New York naar Boston gerezen. Daar was ik al eerder geweest, maar dat was maar n paar uur. Nu ben ik er een paar dagen gebleven en heb ik wat meer kunnen zien. Daarna ben ik weer terug naar New York gegaan, waar ik nu nog een paar dagen aan het rondhangen ben. Nou ik zie of hoor jullie wel weer als ik thuis ben groeten Gertjan... read more

10.09.2004 - Out of Europe NYC, New York, USA Out of Europe The walk on the north of Spain was FABULOUS! In the middle of the night I arrived at JFK and I soon found a place to stay. In a small room full of people for 4 or 5 hours. The place was called Customs. I figured out they don't really like disorganized travelers with no addresses... not even from my countless relatives in the state. I carried everything in a palm pilot, which stopped working at exact time when I had to tell the address to the officer. However, it was an interesting experience. I happily breath the dirty air of New York City. At sunrise I arrived near the spanish border. I wandered around when a woman from the nearby village invited me ... read more
