New York!

 Well, maybe not moving, but temporarily residing.. for a day :D


 Me, Robin and my family are off to the US of A in August, we're staying at Portland in Maine, and my mums only gone and organised a nights stay in Manhattan :D 
 Our hotel (Hotel Pennsylvania) is like a "blocks'" walk from the empire state building, we're down the road from Time square, a 5 minute drive from Brooklyn bridge, a couple blocks down from Central Park and only a ferry away from Liberty Island to stand up on the top of the statue and look at the view across beautiful New York! Oh and if I'm correct, we're only a few blocks away from Hell's Kitchen, so I can go and show Gordan Ramsey how it's done! :P


 It's about a 5 hour drive from Portland, so basically like a trip down to Cornwall. Looking at Google maps, it's amazing how many British named towns and cities that we'll be driving through on the way down to New York: Dover, York, Hampstead, Manchester (there's also a 'Manchester-by-the-sea', who'd have thought?), Cambridge, Reading, Coventry, Portsmouth, Bristol, Gloucester.. there's even an Essex! Crazy :O


 By the time we get there, it would just be throwing our shit into our rooms and sight-seeing like those crazy Japanese have never sight-seen before! We can have a nice bit of late night Manhattan style dinner, and a New York style bagel for breakfast! :D Ooooo I so can't wait!


 Luckily enough, since where we're staying in Portland there's apparently a lot of seafood restaurants, so Robin, my Dad and my Nan can indulge in some proper shrimp, lobster, squid.. the works! Plus my Dad said the lobster out there is amazing, so that would be a nice first try for Robin :)


 We've also got planned a 4 hour fishing trip.. It was going to be shark fishing, but that was an all-day occasion, and I don't think I've got the patience (or the sea-legs for that matter) to withstand that.. 4 hours is adequate enough! Plus the size of the tuna that people have caught on those trips are bigger than the freaking sharks! Holy macaroni!


 Also! We're not that far from Niagara falls, so we might take a visit there one day and possibly enter the boarder to Canada! Two holiday's in one :D Awesomesauce!
