The Start - by Nic

Well New York - what can i say - busy place the biggest place with so many people and the driving - OMG talk about mayhem - people cutting accross people - pedestrians walking in front of vehicles - crosswalks !! What crosswalks! Didn't see to many crazy looking people though! The bars are just what i thought they would be - just like the movies! The restaurants are average, with most of the food we have eaten thus far being quiet 'bland' in flavor. Haven't tried a hotdog on the street yet - i am still yet to experience this. Shaun & Wayne have visited Hooters and were very disappointed - they thought they would see boobs and bums galore - they discovered a very tame family restaurant instead :) - we have found most people in the service industry to be rather arogant - and good service with a smile was really rare.

We did visit Madam Tussads Wax museum - wow that was great - if anyone gets the chance you must visit this display - we will post photos later. We also visited the Empire State Building - that was just draw dropping...

We collected the RV yesterday and after a couple of delays and a change over in bus we finally got on the road - with Shaun the Driver & Wayne the navigator - who was the most nervous - well Wayne was! Talk about a fluster..... The GPS Karen wouldnt work - in comes the iphone YAY for that - we are now sitting in Pine Cone RV resort in Forthold - New Jersey, just had our first cooked breakfast in the RV - very nice! And are planning our next stop and shopping trip to stock up....

Where to next????????????

Last day in NYC.
Today we went to the top of the Empire State Building, Madam Tassauds, Macy's, Victoria Secrets, Harlem, Times Square and quite a few other places as we did a tour on top of an open air bus and we went everywhere Very exciting!....
Last night we had a gorgeous! dinner at
Cancun- a mexican restaurant amazing!!... nice Caperrinia's just for you Lee lol =) they made them perfectly =)
Might be of line for a few days as of tomorrow as we pick up our RV and head of on our tour across the states. I have been using the free internet here at the Holiday Inn and as its very dear will probably only post msg's when we get free internet or when we can get to a McDonalds as most have free wireless connection.
Cheer's everyone NYC was very casual & easy going most peeps were very friendly and definately recommend it to you for a visit.
