16th November
Once again the day was lost in a flurry of New York shops and swearing under my breath at people that stop suddenly in front of me in the middle of the sidewalk.
They’ve got a lot of the Christmas decorations up already and it’s really busy now so I can’t imagine how busy it gets just before xmas. I certainly don’t want to be here to find out. You’ll all be pleased to know that I’ve snapped out of my ‘tight travelling mode’ and have found my inner shopper. It’s a good job I bought a suitcase yesterday because I definitely won’t be able to fit everything in my backpack. We’ll overlook the fact that I asked for the cheapest one they’ve got and will subsequently have to claim a polka dot black and pink suitcase with a massive pink bow from the luggage carousel on Wednesday. That won’t be embarrassing! Lets just hope it’s sturdy or else my ultimate airport nightmare might come true – the suitcase splitting and me having to reclaim all my dirty clothes one by one as they come round on the carousel! I’m actually flying in to terminal 5 so if my luggage actually arrives at all it will be a bonus.
One more day left and with the shopping pretty much done I’m intending to go and see the Statue of Liberty and then have a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. The weather’s been nice again the past couple of days so I should have another day of sun before I head home. This will be the last post I do whilst I’m out here but I’ll do another one at some point when I’m back letting you know what weird events happen on my way home because in case you haven’t noticed they always seem to occur when I’m about!
