have at least 2 beers in the airport whilst you wait… get on the plane and enjoy another with food… one more then sleep! 6 hours is a nice easy flight – eat… movie.. sleep… wake up and your there!!

careful of hostels in NYC – heard some quality stories and some interesting ones… one guy was in a dorm with some questionnable fellow who apparently chanted for long periods of the night “death to the infedels… may allah be with you as he is me!”

not to worry you or anything

I can help you out with the guest posting. Sounds like fun.

Are you doing a day trip to Niagara Falls? That’s an amazing day if you can spare one day to do it. Well recommended.

My tips would be to plan where you are going to eat coz all me and Chris could find restaurant wise at night-time was posh pricey places or fast food. So work that guide book.

Take very comfy shoes – walking 10 blocks one way and 5 another seems like a really easy thing ’til you get blisters. (the subway is a no-no) And watch for the blue men to say cross the road up ahead – saves you hours.

Ignore the stats at the Empire State Building – it said 5 mile visability when we went up and we could see for miles and miles (ooh and pay extra for the “Italian” talking guide up there – lil headphone machine – bad accent but interesting)

The red tour buses are quite cool and they give you a waterproof poncho if it rains : ) hehe

Last but not least – make sure ur suitcases go on the plane! They left ours in New York for about 3 days.

Hope u have a fab time!
