We’re here! Yay! I’m bursting with excitement. So much to see and do.
The flight was great. We watched movies and ate the whole time. I dozed a little bit, but it was hard to sleep. As soon as we landed I couldn’t wait to get my camera out.
Look we’re on the wrong side of the road!
A little drive through Queens. Just like in the movies.
Rubbish everywhere just on the street! Even out the front of nice shops. No bins, skin bins or whatever…
People just sit in this tiered seating watching all the big billboards change advertisements.

We hit the ground running… Dumped our bags, had a shower and ran towards Times Square. We’re only 1 block away and I can see it all from my window.
Those who have been to New York will know how amazing Times Square is. The shops, the lights and the people! It’s only Tuesday night! My husband and I walked around and around taking it all in. We clung to each other for dear life!

My favourite shop was the 3-story M&M shop! Everyone was dancing and the staff were singing. So funny.
We decided to eat at Applebee’s. Husband had his first Budweiser and I learned not to ask for lemonade (because you just get lemon cordial!). We were nervous about the whole tipping thing and have been saving our dollar bills. But we’re getting the hang of it. The money is the hardest part to get used to! They’re all the same colour. Ha! American’s love Australians and we have been chatting to people in the shops already. They pick us a mile away. Well, I do have that bogan voice remember ;). When we checked in to our hotel the reception guy was laughing and laughing at “Wagga Wagga” and kept saying under his breath “oh my gawwwwd” hahaha!
So we’ve worn ourselves out today. It’s midnight and my husband just starting snoring next to me. I’m going to try and sleep but I want to get up really early to ring the kids. I miss them already.
Tomorrow I think we’ll do a bus tour and a broadway show. Can’t wait to wake up and get in to it again!
Excuse any spelling mistakes and funny sized photos, but I’m on the iPad and I’m lazy and I’m in AMERICA!
Don’t forget I’m Instagramming everything! See you tomorrow.
