Post 1: Ever since I was 16 years old I have been saving some money every month because I have always know that I would like to go for a trip and now I have finally decided to use the money to go to New York. I have always wanted to go to New York by myself to live nice, eat really good food and also shop a lot.

I am leaving Sweden the 2 mars and I come home the 8 mars. So I am going to be in New York for 7 days and 6 nights. I am going to live at the New York palace because I think the hotel looks amassing and it is very close to all the shopping streets. I will live there for 6 nights and it is going to be expensive but it is totally worth it. I am flying with Brussels Airlines and also Jet Airlines because I have to fly to Brussels first and then to New York, too save as much money as possible.

I would like to see some sightseeing like the empire state building, the statue of liberty and the museum of modern art. I am also going to meet my brother in New York, I have not seen him in a while so I am really looking forward to meet him.

My goal with this trip is to live luxurious, eat a lot of nice food, meet my brother, shop a lot and just have a great time in New York.

Hi, it is my fourth day here in New York City. My hotel is so amazing and I already love it here.

So two days ago I started my day at 11 am eating breakfast at my hotel and it was delicious, I ate a bagel with cream cheese and a lot of delicious fruit like melon, pineapple and strawberries. After a great breakfast I started to explore the streets of New York. First I went to 5th avenue, the most exclusive shopping street in New York. When I was walking down 5th avenue, looking in the stores windows I founded a beautiful bracelet at Tiffany and company and I just had to buy it, a silver bracelet for 245 dollars. After an hour at 5th avenue I ate at a cute little restaurant in Tribeca. After lunch I went to different stores and founded a pretty dress, 5 tops and a pretty romper at forever 21. After a 3 h shopping spread I went back to my hotel I got a little bit lost so it took about one hour for me to find back to the hotel. At 5 pm I finally founded the hotel and took a nap for an hour because I still had a jet lag. At 6 pm I went to the hotels pool and took a swim before dinner. I ate at Gilt bar at the hotel, I ate grilled chicken ciabatta and a chocolate mousse cake with a hazelnut crunch and it was delicious. After a delicious dinner I went up to my room and watched the E channel before I went to sleep.

And yesterday, my third day in New York City was a really great day and I had so fun. I started my day eating breakfast at the hotel again and I ate the same breakfast a bagel and some delicious fruit, I will never get tired of eating American breakfast. After breakfast I went to time square to meet my brother who lives in New York I have not seen him in a while so I were very excited. We decided to take a coffee and a sandwich at Starbucks to catch up. I drank a chai latte and I ate a chicken sandwich, Starbucks have the greatest chai latte ever. At 3 pm we were at a hockey game, the New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden. It was really fun to see a hockey game in real life, I cannot really say that I am a huge hockey fan but I thought it was fun either way. After the hokey game my brother took me around to see New York, we went for a walk in Tribeca looking at all the beautiful buildings and we also went to Chinatown. Chinatown was really something new and different. I wanted to do something nice for my brother so I took him to dinner, at 7 pm I had booked a dinner reservation at the View on Broadway. The View is a really different restaurant because every hour the restaurant spins 360 degrees. It was not hard to find a place to eat at because when I were 7 years old we were in New York and ate at the View and I remember me and my brother counted every lap during the dinner, so eating there brought back all old memories. As soon as we got there all my old memories got back and it was by far the greatest dinner I ate in several years. I ate a delicious rack of lamb and we ordered to desserts to split a chocolate raspberry (chocolate mousse spiral with chocolate ice cream) and New York´s finest cheesecake with strawberries.

I would really do this thing again it has been two really great days. The worst thing was when I got lost and did not find my hotel but it was still a little bit fun to get lost because then I really pushed myself to ask people in English and to use my local sense. The greatest thing with these two days was to meet my brother to catch up and have a great time.

My trip to New York was fantastic and I had a really good time. I did some sightseeing, I went to the empire state building, the statue of liberty and the museum of modern art It was fun to go and do something I normally don´t do. I ate really good food and went to some great restaurants like the view, vapiano, red rooster and a lot more. I shopped a lot and lived luxurious.

I am very pleased with my trip the only not so very funny thing was that I had to pay 300 kr overweight I thought it was very unnecessary waste of money but it was totally worth all the shopping. It was actually a little bit too much money to spend on one trip but it doesn’t hurt to spend much money on a trip to have a great time. I had actually been saving money to do this so why not use it all, and now I know I do not need that much money the next time I am going on a trip. It is really hard for me to pick out one good memory because many things I did were fun and nice. Well one of the highlights was meeting my brother and my friend who I had not seen in a long while. I could do this trip again, I could even move to New York and then I will absolutely live in Tribeca.
