The Plans

Ok, so I'm in planning mode once again... this time it is NYC in my sights. Well its been in my sights for a while but I am hopefully going to make it a reality in November 2012...

Why then you ask? Well a couple of reasons... 1) so I can save!!!! (best intentions!); and 2) coz November 2012 will be my 4oth birthday... yip thats right... I will officially be middle aged next year! Man that is a scary thought.

So what better way to ring in the middle age than to be in NYC. Currently looking at accommodation etc. Did you know how hard it is to find a decent place in NYC... they don't have apartments as such like other places and if you do look at booking at an apartment you could possibly be breaking the law! So I looks like a hotel for me... ok so next thing - do you know who bloody expensive NYC is???? For 8 nights I am looking at at least $2000 for a decent place in Midtown. Bloody oath! I mean, for 10 days in London it was cheap and we had an apartment! Admittedly it was a little out of town but even when I was looking closer to the city it wasn't that expensive.

But hey... NYC Baby!!! So may things to see & do.. I wanted to stay a bit longer but it would have ended up being too expensive... actually what I really wanted to do is have 16 days in London/UK and 10 day in NYC but it would have ended up costing me about $10,000! I don't really care how long I go for as long as I am able to stand at the top of the Empire State Building on my 40th birthday.. I could go for 1 day for all I care... that is my goal tho..
