NEW YORK BABY!! Well....for the second time! Mile 17 and he still managed to make me smile! This trip was for a very different reason altogether; my amazing husband, Tom, ran the New York Marathon and I was so very proud of him (& all that that took part). The atmosphere, organisation, people, runners, professional athletes, supporters and well wishers were all, to quote a word used a lot that day "AWSOME". He finished with an AMAZING time of 3:02:02 A visa is required for **British Passport holders. ESTA (Visa Waiver programme) approx. US$14.00 per person, including Children . Validity is 2 years**.

Still nothing clicked! My final present was hidden at the back of the tree and I was instructed to go digging! Unwrapping to find a guide book on New York, I still thought he was trying to be f...
This could be the strangest thing ever – a travel agent that hates flying. Well not really, there are lots of people who have a fear of flying and I just so happen to be one of them. It’s not pleasant but I can absolutely relate to those who say they have this fear also. With the need to try and get my fear under control due being diverted because our plane hit a bird on take off.
