Back in New York City !!

Just the once will not hurt, i’m just coming home from my annual NYC trip. I cannot denied that I’m totally addicted to this city. I know it’s kinda stupid to love a city but…what can I say !

So, once again, I spent days in the most lovable place in the world. This trip was a little different this time : first I didn’t travel alone - my friend Gaëlle did this trip with me- and my best friend’s cuddly toy was our non planed passenger, and second, not only I saw NYC but also Boston which was a real discover for me.

Anyway, I can’t stand to tell you almost everything I’ve done during these great vacation !

Ready? So Let’s go to NYC !!

 
Gaëlle and I had planed since 2005 to do a such trip together,so imagine how we were excited when we had confirm the flight ticket purchase !! The D day was april 25 ! Departure planned at
7 am !!

While we were waiting for boarding, we had a bad news…our plane had a problem, a battery problem indeed. We had to change ticket, terminal, gate, etc. But finally, we had been registered on another flight and we had chance because it was a direct flight !

After 8 long hours flying through the ocean, we arrived to JFK !! Aaaah ! NYC !!

 

We quickly went to the immigration desk, then the baggage claim and finally the customs. Piouff, my bottles of champagne were still here !

Once we were in the airport, our quest was…to find a shuttle (private joke for Dine : “un chu-tle”). We didn’t even made a single move that a guy ask us if we wanted to go to Manhattan for 19$? Sure we wanted. With 2 french couples, we followed him til’ a car park. There was just a little problem : no van were there ! For our surprise, the man walked until a car, well when I say a car…Guess what it could be? It was a limousine ! A real limousine.

It was so unbelievable than we started to look around us and search for a hidden camera. I asked to the driver if the ride were still at 19$ because…This is how I arrived in NYC : in a limousine !!

We stopped at our hotel, drop off the baggage, took a shower and we immediately went to walk across NYC streets. We walked on broadway til’Time Square. We cross Bryant Park, see the NYPL,

and the Empire State. On Time Square, we saw a Big Bob l’Eponge,

We went on Time Square for another reason, a very important reason : see my favourite Mamadine at work. It was so cool to see her !! We were just like to kids. So happy to see each other !!

With a great starbucks coffee in one hand, our camera in the other, we sat in Bryant Park to admire the NYPL, the Empire and just taste the feeling of being in NYC. We walked til’ Grand Central to have our subway line and decided to go to bed…it was a hudge day !!
