This post has been a long time coming!! I posted back in December (OK, I actually didn't realise it was that long ago since I wrote about my first day in New York!) ... so if you need a recap check out that post here ...

In the months leading up to my birthday (November), my husband had been attempting to wind me up by saying he had organised something, I would be doing something on my birthday with a friend and after that we would be going away for a few days. He was super pleased with himself and kept … Continue reading My Birthday Surprise!
We were extremely grateful for a slightly later lay-in on day 3. An early flight on day 1 from the UK through to a late Northern Lights night followed by the Golden Circle tour and Blue Lagoon trip on day 2...we needed sleep! Day 3 started with hotel breakfast and wrapping up warm for a … Continue reading Iceland Day 3 – Snow and the City!

The High Line wasn't necessarily something we had on … Continue reading New York City – Day 2
