Big yellow teddy
I found a new friend! It's being auctioned later in the summer, but is currently on display on Park Avenue. Just what you need on your bedside table!
Smoothest trip ever.
Early start, and we were the first through check in at Manchester. Got fast tracked through security, too, and all told took just 45 minutes to get through it all.
Economy upgrade on the plane was worth it for the extra room. The food was the best airline meal I've had - yeah, I know what they say about damning with faint praise, but it's meant as a genuine compliment!
Once landed, we got through American security and got our bags and out in a similar time. Of course, paying attention to how many custom forms we needed, and checking signs helps!
We're up on the 11th floor this year, and have as close to a room with a view as we've had. Ok, so it's just a view across the street, but it's not an air shaft!
Had dinner, did some people watching, and are now giving into jetlag! Clock says half eight, the body says 1.30am.
Shopping tomorrow, then we're getting in touch with our inner divas (Chris edit-"we"? bollocks) at Priscilla! Fabulous!

Almost there
Checked in at the Raddisson hotel at the airport, then wandered over to the Crowne Plaza, where we've stayed previously. They've got an Irish pub, which does some of the best pub grub you've tried!
Chill out tonight, ready for an early start for check in tomorrow.

All packed and ready to go!
The big day is almost here! After a slight wobble last night, involving me knocking a crown out and having to find an emergency weekend dentist, we are packed and ready for our holiday!
Manchester airport tomorrow, staying over and an early start on Monday to get through security and ready to fly!
New York, here we come!

Two weeks to go!
The final countdown is upon is. Bags are as packed as possible, hotels in Manchester and New York are booked - unless Chris finds anything better between now and then, we're back to Radio City Apartments - and most of our evenings are booked. Priscilla, Queen if the Desert, Richard Cheese on a boat, twi nights at the baseball and, after trying every year we've been, FINALLY we scored tickets for a filming of The Daily Show! Won't know til closer to the time who the guests are, but really, who cares!
This is a well deserved break this year!
