Brilliant photo's Julie.
Looks like you had good weather.[msnsmile]

Great photos i wouldnt like to be that high up though,i was very surprised that hearing you got a upgrade on the flight i thought the seats would be far more refined(leather etc),the pitch doesnt look that wide and the gap between you and the table looks just like the ones we use in economy class,seems a lot to pay if you upgrade and get seats that look no different to the basic ticket price,on seeing the difference i dont bother with an upgrade i would rather keep the money for more luxuries when im on my hols.It must have been an exciting but tiring few days for the children[msnwink]

The upgrade was from World Traveller to World Traveller Plus with BA, luckily we did not pay [msnwink]

[Twiglet]

Julie those photos are great, and you look brilliant, so trim and slim! You must be really pleased when you get your photos back, to see how well you've done!

LOL about the coffees, I too noticed the Starbucks coffee in hand! Mind you it was part of your research prior to going wasn't it. [msnwink]

You've got me in the mood for visiting NY. My Son asked if we could include New York in our Round The World jaunt in 2008. I think I will have to get a second job! [msneek]

[E. Cosgrove]

Great photos Julie, they bring back a few memories for me as well.[msnsmile2]

Thanks for all the compliments[msnsmile2]

Fabulous photo's Julie[8D]

[julieanne]

Great pics Julie, post as many as you like we won't get bored..
Lots of happy memories of my NY trip - thanks.

[Disney Dreamer]

Hi Julie,

I would just like to add my 'great photo's' comment too!

You had great views from the top of the Empire State Building, unfortunately when we went up last July it was very cloudy & misty so are pictures are not as good as yours. We could only just make out the Statue of Liberty, a good reason to have to go back again I think! My son was not impressed with being at the top of the Empire State, he was convinced the building was moving and felt very uncomfortable up their, poor thing!!

Julie...what great pictures, thanks for sharing them with us.
New York is on my "Hit List" !!!!![msnwink]

[Carla]

Looks wonderful Julie. I haven't been since 1985 - way too long ago.

Crikey the children look so grown up now.[msneek][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

Thanks everyone, and Yes Carla my babies are growing up way to fast[msnsad]

[ORLANDO_MAGIC]

Great pics,and what an amazing view from your hotel[clap]

[Snapper]

I think your photo of Time Square is just awesome. It's one of those photos that you can't stop looking at. It just shouts New York straight at you. You should try printing it and framing it to see how it looks. The cab and the shadow grab your attention and then there is so much detail in the rest of it. Nice one! [msnsmile2]

Thanks Steve[clap]

[Epic]

Brilliant pictures thanx for sharing....really makes me wanna go but i just cant give up my florida hol instead hehe ***must try and save harder so can do both***

Julie thank you for sharing those great photos with us . There is something very special about New York .we wont make it this year but perhaps 2007.

Thanks Olive and Russell[msnsmile]

Great Photos Julie, did the children enjoy it? and how long was you there for. I have never been and have always wanted to go so i am now thinking of going then travelling on to Orlando. how many days would you suggest i visit there for???

[zerotone]

We were in NY for 2 nights this Easter, plenty of time to see all the main sights even though we had some very cold and wet weather for most of the time. Here is a photo of Central Park Ice rink(I will post some more if I have got the sizing right).

Hi,

Yes the children loved it thanks, we were there for 6 days, I think anything from 2-3 days is good but after 6 days I have had enough and need to get out of the city[msnwink]

Great pics Jane[clap][clap][clap]

[Paula D-S]

Brilliant idea[msnwink]

Also ive been thinking lately about treating my mother for her 50th next year...just her and me for maybe 3 nights..a nice girly trip.where would i start?i wouldnt know who would be the best to book with or anything, like would it be best booking the flights and hotel seperate or together.
Im so used to booking my trip to florida with virgin i wouldnt know where to begin with new york?

You could do it exactly the same, just book your flights with Virgin (or BA etc) book your hotel in NY, say somewhere centre like midtown, just jump in Taxi at the airport, its all very well organised, have your 3 days in NY. The back to the airport for your conecting flight down to Florida (that you had already booked[msnwink]) and fly direct home again with Virgin[msnwink]

Great pics of nyc was that the beam of light from the westin hotel ( thats where i stay fab hotel 24hr starbucks next door)......... i was lucky and went twice last year loved it ... i too could'nt walk past a starbucks without going in ... my trip in feb 05 was proberly the most times i've visited starbucks it was sooooooo cold my excuse to go in was to warm up... of course with a gingerbread latte[msnwink]......
