Default Few pictures from my trip to New York City

Went there for my birthday, also the missus 25th..

Was a big suprise (she didn't know until we got to the airport arrival terminal)

I'm such a smoothy... lol

Fantastic place, so many thing to see but fuck me it was cold!

Anyway here's a few snaps!

the hotel (we were on floor 30 )



The room...



telly in the bog



Empire state building



and the view from it...Well the snow



North



South



The good lady and Manhattan in the background



Bumped into Jess in Madam Tussauds



Ground zero



the building site were 2000+ people lost their lives



Times square day n night





Sherry's birthday arrived with 12 red roses being delivered to her door by the bell boys... Ain't i a smoothy



Walked over the Brooklyn bridge



M+M world in times square



Went to the world renowned Tiffany Jewellers on 5th Ave and she was hinting something...



Immediately after seeing the price i promptly told her to go forth and get bent lol



Fanatsic trip, will go again in the future i'm sure

Yep Porkie that is right

Took your picture on a webcam

Deano - I got a new driving licence before i went so the conviction didn't exist anymore. (Upgraded to the photo card from a green paper one) I got banned from driving in 1999.. Ban came off in 2004 (5years) but still had paper licence. So upgraded and it came back clean

I've also got a new passport with a chip on the back page (not sure what this is but when i came home they flashed this under a machine and my photo popped up on the screen.) was kinda funky

Nick - the hotel was called 'The Alex' Link = Click

Was on 45th street between 2nd+3rd Av. Around 6 blocks east of Time square (about a 5-10min walk)

whole trip was a touch over 2.5k including flights. But did travel world traveller plus with BA (was a bit extra)

Think the hotel was around Ł300 a night but we had a studio room to get a high floor Hotel staff were fantastic, can't reccomend the hotel enough.

Sounds like a good trip Smit... Last time I was in New York I went to the top of the trade center buildings!

When I went to the US last year I was getting properly scruitinised by customs, whereas my manager who I was travelling with is a asian muslim and he walked almost straight through!

smit you goon! Soon as I saw your thread about the cossy door lokc and saw you was leaving for NYC, I text you telling you to go visit Erik (Fastmaul)

He lives here!





Jealous that you walked along the Brooklyn Bridge! I wished I had done that, but I never got round to it! (It was on my list to go do it on the Saturday, but it pissed down like a mofo!!!!) I wanted to walk across one side, then get a cab back the otherway

Next time
