True. But that's what you get when you store aircraft outside, exposed to the elements. And they get extremes in NYC. Hot humid summers, and freezing winters with snow, not to mention exposure to the salt from the Hudson River. You may recall that when we were there in 2013, they were restoring thei...

Well folks, today is our last full day in NYC. Tomorrow we move on to our next location (you'll have to wait to see where that is) My computer is packed away, so you'll have to wait a couple of days for me to post an update for our last days in New York, New York. Once I've posted the update, I'll d...

16 Dec 2024 Today we met up with Peter and Lynn and showed them around downtown. It was a miserable morning with low cloud and light rain falling persistently. The cloud was so low in fact, that passing Macy's I looked up and discovered our old friend the Empire State Building was obscured! 1 Macys...

So today, the three boys went off to play by themselves, and the three girls also went off on their own adventure! Lynn, Laura and Lizzie met up at our apartment and walked downtown to Tiffany's on the famous Fifth Avenue. They were whisked up to the 6th floor and shown to their table. It was a beau...

You know we’re still talking to you, it was quite funny as we had no idea and trusted you implicitly 🤣🤣 We got there eventually, you also know we appreciated seeing the three of you at the station😘 :lol: Thanks Lynn. You know me... never let the truth get in the way of a good story! :lol: It was gr...

This morning was a bit of downtime for me going through photos and drafting updates to the blog, whilst Lizzie went out and got her Christmas fingernails done! Three hours it took! Ladies, I don't know if this is normal, but how do you do it??? I have to admit though, the time was absolutely worth i...

This morning Lizzie and I had reservations to visit the "Top Of The Rock" observation deck at Rockefeller Plaza. We met up with Laura and walked downtown with her and she went off to look around whilst we took a look from above. We've now done two observation decks - Empire State Building,...

Overnight our friend Laura arrived and checked in to a hotel a few blocks uptown from our apartment. So when we woke, we took a leisure stroll up to her hotel to meet her, and then show her the sights. We started with breakfast at Carnegie Diner where I had yet another burger (seriously, these thing...

09 December 2024 Just for something completely different today, we walked to the Museum of Modern Art in downtown Manhattan. I have to say, art is really not my thing. I certainly appreciate the talent of the artists who can take a blank canvass and create something, but at the end of the day I jus...

07 December 2024 Today we finally made it to the observation deck of the Empire State Building, and what a view! It took us about two hours to go through the experience, but it was absolutely worth it! 1 Lower Manhattan from ESB 3.jpg 1 Lower Manhattan WTC Liberty from ESB 2.jpg 1 The Edge from ESB...
