our holiday begins...

Sorry I haven't blogged until now but the holiday has been pretty hectic!
Today we set off from our hotel by Heathrow and rushed though the airport and was on our flight within no time!
Our flight was amazing...I have never been with virgin or on a long haul flight for that matter...and we were given so much free stuff!
We arrived in New York earlier than planned and then got our transfer to our hotel which was about a forty minute transfer. We got to our hotel which was in such a great location....only a twenty minute walk to times squsre and a two minute walk to the nearest subway. We were on 76th street in hotel beacon. We then unpacked only some of our suitcases as we didn't need everything for new York!
We then went into Times square which was so busy ...but it was brilliant seeing all the lights and the shops. We took lots of pictures and went in the m and m store that is amazing! We also looked in toys are us and hersheys. We ate in Applebees which was on a side road by times square and then headed back to the hotel after taking some more pictures and getting accustmed to the amercian culture.
We were pretty shattered so had an early night even though it felt weird to be in a different time zone!
We have a lot planned for tomorrow already!
