Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everybody! Hope you all celebrated in style last night (unless you went to the Perth Cup, jealous!). The fireworks around the London Eye were amazing, definitely rivalled our Australia Day celebrations. The weather wasn't too great, rain and strong winds all weekend - but it held off in London before midnight.

I fly out to New York tomorrow morning for 8 days! I have to be at Heathrow at 6:30am so it'll be an early start for me. I'm pretty much organised and just need to pack my things (meaning my clothes & shoes, haha). The weather is looking quite warm for this time of year, it seems very unlikely that I'll be seeing any snow on my visit :-(

Katie & Shelley arrive a couple of hours (providing they make connecting flights from Mexico!) later than I do so after checking in I may go for a bit of a wander around near the hostel, because its literally right off Times Square and in the heart of the city.

My list of things to do is so long its not funny! I'm really lucky because at the moment the pound is incredibly strong against the US dollar, I can literally almost double my money (or everything is half price!).

See you after I've taken a bite of the Big Apple!
