I am not ashamed to admit that flying Virgin Atlantic Upper Class is one of the best holiday experiences I’ve ever had. We were incredibly fortunate to be in a position to upgrade both to New York and back, so were able to check out the view from an Airbus A330 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner (my … More Virgin Atlantic Upper Class
2017 has so far been the year of trips across the Atlantic – St Pete Beach, New York, Miami and this past week, back to New York again only this time with Husband. He felt a little jealous of my solo trip in February, so we took advantage of a Virgin Atlantic sale and booked … More New York isn’t New York without you, Love
I wish I could tell you my second day in New York was different to the first, but it was just more of the same – walking around, drinking coffee, and going into shops on the east side of the island. I bloody loved it. I started off in Korea Town at the amazing … More Living in a movie scene
I had two full days in New York entirely to myself – utter freedom to do as little or as much as I wanted. I stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites near Penn Station which was perfect – perfect room, perfect location, perfect staff. Plus I had the above view from my room – … More I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
The very first thing I did when I got to New York last month was attend the taping of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. I landed at JFK at 2.30pm, jumped on the LIRR, dumped my bags at my hotel room on 33rd at 4pm, and made my way uptown to the CBS Broadcast Centre … More Full Frontal with Samantha Bee – live taping!
AKA this introvert’s guide to solo travel. I had such a good time on my trip to Florida and New York, a fact that surprises me. I thought my social anxiety would be a barrier and put me on edge all the time, but being without anyone I knew actually helped in a way. My … More A shyness that is criminally vulgar
You guys, I’ve finally travelled internationally for work. I’ve been to a lot of conferences over the years, but whilst colleagues in Recruitment get to leave the UK, all of mine have been squarely in country. But not this time. This time, I got on a big plane, then a much smaller plane (that technically I … More Can’t remember the last time I saw an international business man with an untucked shirt
I’ve had to take a bit of break from my normal life over the past couple of weeks for one reason or another, but all the news on the 2016 blizzard is making me nostalgic for our blizzard experience, so thought I’d read through all my posts from this time last year. Husband and I have … More Misty watercolour memories
Despite having another five days to tick off items from what we didn’t do in New York last March, we still have so much we didn’t do. Visit or even see the Statue of Liberty – still nope. Go to the New York Public Library – another big nope. Eat at Big Gay Ice Cream every … More What I didn’t do in New York – Part two
Day five in New York and I finally managed to sleep in. Hooray! We didn’t have to worry about packing as we’d done it the night before, so we were able to check out pretty soon after we woke up. After being ignored by the doorman (grr), we left our bags at the hotel and … More Leaving New York, never easy
