If you can make it here…. Or should it be…..Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

After 24 hours in the Big Apple, we have explored midtown New York. The apartment we are staying in is on 1st Avenue between 58th & 59th which is a great spot for walking around and seeing a fair bit of the area. Not surprisingly many shops were visited, and explored…. We did make it to the top of the Rockefeller Centre- what an amazing view from there. This is my
first time here and I am amazed at how different NYC is from other cities in the US- it really is an incredible place (even though we have only seen less than 10% of the city) A couple of points I have noticed by comparison –

1. I haven’t seen one mobility assistance device here!

2. There is a great diversity of food and cultures here….. Great options for eating (and plenty of places without fries or burgers!) 3. Going from 23 C to 3 C in the space of 24hrs is difficult (Zoe and I were swimming yesterday)

Well… After 6 hrs of walking I am tired and my legs are a bit sore….. So signing off for today.

Merry Christmas to everyone back in Australia…. Hope you are having a great day.

Cheers Craig

I can’t believe that Australia gets Christmas before us :(

So we are here in NYC and I love it!!! We are only one day into this nine day experience and I can already tell that when I go to pack to go to LA I will not be able to shut my bag 😀 I have already gotten so many things, everything is so beautiful here and I love time square!! Time square was just as I imagined it and more!! I loved all the lights and signs for all the musicals on broadway!!

I also can’t believe that Christmas is tomorrow, this year has gone soooooo quickly it is not funny and this is a great way to finish it off… Tomorrow we are off to lunch somewhere in the theater district and then we are off to a surprise as Zoe and I have been told, I will be able to tell u exactly what it was tomorrow night!!

Anyway off to watch Santa clause 2, I hope everyone back home is having a lovely Christmas……

Love Morgan xx 🙂
