Disadvantages: I had to come home!

New York...well what can I say it really is the city that never sleeps.

I have recently came back from here with my boyfriend as we went just before Christmas as we really wanted to experience the holiday season here!

The first time it really hit me just how amazing New York was, was as we were landing I looked out of the aeroplane window and ahead was just an orange glow as all the lights from New York just shone, it was really nothing I has ever seen before!

On arriving at out hotel we were shown to our room and our bags were carried even though our room was literally a meter from the reception, whatever you have heard about New Yorkers being ignorant and rude is so wrong! I have never met a kinder bunch of people, as they are always happy to help. The amount of times we were lost and random people would stop and help, hold open doors, and give you any adive was unbelivable!

We did all the usual tourist things such as Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, shopping in Macy's (we got lost it's that big!) and 5th Avenue, central park and we went to see Ground Zero yet in the four days we were there there was still hundreds of more things we wanted to do and go and see!

One of the best experiences though was the helicopter ride we went on over Manhatten, it's unbelivable to look down at all of the builidings you will honestly never have seen anything so tall in all of your life, on that helicopter ride I could not get my breath and was constantly clicking on my camera as I didn't want to miss a thing (to see central park up in the sky was amazing as its just a whole green rectangle in these mass of hugh skyscrapers!).

How can I forget we also had snow on the first day we were there, and it was magical as all the christmas lights twinkled and the snow came down, I honestly felt like I was in a movie!

If your planning to go there get going, if your not well you'll miss out. It was one of the places I wanted to go before I die and I have to say it outdid all of my expectations. Me and my boyfriend are now saving to get back out there in the summer to experence a different season. We can not get out there quick enough!

Summary: Everyone should go there at least once!
