Noo York Baby

LAX is no issue at all - ignore those naysayers who describe it like hell on earth, a place to be avoided at all costs. After a 15 hour flight and plenty of nerves, LAX was a breeze compared to entering (or exiting) Australia. Okay, so they may have a bleary eyed photo of me but its a better than some photos I have seen of myself.

Anyway, I'm here! Arrival was a little latter than expected (round midnight) but that didn't stop the two of us over excited kids hailing a taxi and zooming down to Empire State Building for a wee look. Highly recommend popping down there around 1am as there are no crowds and they bring out the odd ball staff at that hour. What a fab intro to the city - a 360 degree view from the 86th floor gives you a great idea of what the city has to offer. Standing up there and seeing the size of Macy's department store just makes me excited about shopping! ! ! ! !

A slice of good old american pizza was up next for us. We devoured our 8" slices whilst contemplating how long we were going to survive in this city eating this food. The oil pool that had run down my hand and congealed on the plate was large enough to fuel the white hummer limousine hanging on the corner.

Home we trotted, grabbing chicken on a stick off a corner street vendor (yes, I was hungry) taking in the sights of Radio City Hall, Hershey's Store, M&M's Store, Virgin Records Store and my soon to be home, Macy's.

That's it - a little after 3am, we decided to call it a day and sleep. Photos to come once I have had some sleep
