RETROSPECTIVE ENTRY Day 241: New York, New York. So Good They Named It Twice!!!

So if you've checked out my Top 5's page you'll know that one of my biggest fears is flying. So last year in early 2012 Lisa my old school pal wished to celebrate her 30th with a little trip to New York. 
So caught in the moment we booked it, payed for it and then I panicked. It's a Seven Hour Flight don't you know? So armed with a few G&T's and singing Spice Girl songs I was all set to get on a plane for the sake of fun & frolics. 
We arrived safe & sound albeit a little tiered. We ate, we drank and then we just had to sleep. 
We did lots & lots of shopping.

 Birthday dinner At the revolving restaurant 'The View'I loved visiting New York. I have to admit though I found it all a bit overwhelming & hectic. I would love to visit again some day and do some more of the tourist stuff and visit Brooklyn Bridge, see a basket ball game, hire a bike and ride around Central Park, grabbing a slice of pizza, see a Broadway show to name just a few.
