I'm not doing very well
with this keeping you up to date ting.
The experience of a life
time has been and gone within a blink and I have the holiday blues already...
I want to say a MASSIVE
thank you to every single person that helped me get over to New York with my sister for a short break last week, I had
literally the time of my life & I would go back tomorrow if I could!
Funny thing is, I hate
cities, I don't like busy places, and hundreds of people intimidate the fuck
out of me. However, in Times
Square, I felt completely
different, really safe & relaxed almost.

| Off to watch Wicked |
The flight there was an
absolute nightmare, unfortunately, an hour after take off my stoma became
severely blocked and stayed that way for about six and a half hours. I had to
make myself urge by sticking my fingers down my throat to force the blockage
out, I was in so much pain and tears, I really thought it was going to be the
start of a disaster in America. I somehow managed (again) to unblock it without
any hospital intervention. We got onto the transfer bus & arrived at our
hotel, just after 4pm New York time.

| A Treat! |
The hotel was beautiful,
absolutely made for me, black and white design, photo's everywhere of sexy
tattooed models doing naughty things, very sexy and chic, they treated us very
well too with a few little extras here and there throughout the stay.
All we seemed to do was
think about food, eat food, think about where we were eating next.... The
places we visited were just amazing, I really wish they had some of the restaurants
over here!! I wanted to be adventurous too, so tried seafood, (which I never
eat) Crab, shrimps, Maine lobster & fried catfish - all soooo good!
 |
| Pancakes, Bacon & Maple Syrup |
 |
| Smore |
 |
| Fried Catfish |
 |
| Duck Fat Fries |
I think one of the best
things I ate were my triple cooked duck fat fries, with Monterey jack cheese
and fried duck skin - don't think I'd have much of a problem with my calorie
intake if they were over here!!
We visited Central Park
Zoo, Bryant Park, Macy's, Madam Tussauds , not forgetting my trip to NY Beetle
house, the Tim Burton inspired restaurant - being interrupted by Emily (Corpse
Bride) and Sweeney Todd was pretty dam cool....

I spent a small fortune,
well other than on food, my spending money went on Hershays & Dylan's Candy
Bar, Disney & Marvel bits, Christmas decorations for the tree & a Pop
Hero or five....
Not forgetting our very
special day on the Wednesday, being part of the audience at The Tonight Show
with Jimmy Fallon... We got to high five his sweaty little hand & ride the
elavator with Kurt from famous band, The Roots.

Afterwards, we were
whisked down as VIP's for the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting &
Christmas Party, it was very posh!!! Not something either of us were prepared
for, I was in leggings and a Christmas jumper! We had a bite to eat , then my
stoma started playing up again so the police escorted us out, whisked us
through the million, yes million! People that were all in the street for the
celebration, and we got back to our hotel to watch the rest of it.
Unfortunately the pain from the blockage was ridiculous again, I finally got it
moving and was out like a light leaving my sister to watch the rest of the lighting
on her own. That was my only really bad night over than the flight home.

We watched Wicked at the Gershwin
Theatre on Broadway, one of my favourite evenings, I would love to see some
more live shows. Think it really helped our seats were third from the stage!
There is so much to tell you I could go on forever but I don't want to bore you
tonight... I'm going to stick some photo's up, a few favourites of mine, I
doubt they will be in any order so please forgive me but I am so tired and my
body clock is a bit fucked from the jet lag!!

Without a single doubt, I
can honestly tell you it was worth every penny saved, pushing through the pain
and walking the seven to thirteen miles a day ! I was so so proud of myself.
I would go back in a
heartbeat as there was so much to do, but not much time to do it in. I would
recommend it to anyone. If my luck continues, I would even try my very best to
go again a year or two down the line but it would take a lot of saving and I
would have to be prepared for that. For the moment, I will keep shaking my New York snow globe and reminisce at all the pictures
taken.....
