| So yesterday morning our American Airways
| |
| | very hospitable and outgoing couple in
|
| flight (booked for free with my Airmiles)
| |
| | their 40s by the name of Harry and Bibi.
|
| left at 7:13 am to bring us to the Big
| |
| | They showed us to our room, a nice room
|
| Apple, a place I had always had a
| |
| | on the third floor of this spacious
|
| fascination with, but only had visited
| |
| | house, with a shared bathroom.Actually
|
| twice very briefly in my life,and that
| |
| | the whole house has been turned into a
|
| more than 10 years ago.Just flying in
| |
| | B&B and there are 8 bedrooms, the 2nd and
|
| over NYC was an experience itself, seeing
| |
| | 3rd floor of the house each have their
|
| all the skyscrapers of Manhattan, the
| |
| | own kitchen and bedroom areas and it
|
| various bridges linking the mainland with
| |
| | actually makes for a really comfortable
|
| the island, and shortly after flying over
| |
| | stay since it feels more like having your
|
| the Rykers Island prison we landed at La
| |
| | own apartment, rather than just renting a
|
| Guardia Airport, a rather small airport
| |
| | room.Before leaving I thoroughly
|
| actually, when compared to Toronto.Our
| |
| | researched accommodation options in New
|
| luggage was out in no time and we grabbed
| |
| | York City, and after looking at all the
|
| a couple of week long transit passes (a
| |
| | options (hotels, hostels, B&Bs), I
|
| pretty good deal at US$24 for unlimited
| |
| | decided the B&B option would be the most
|
| travel for a whole week) and we started
| |
| | comfortable route to go. And at US$90.00
|
| our trip to Brooklyn. One bus (through a
| |
| | a night it's definitely turned out to be
|
| mostly Latin area in Queens) and one
| |
| | one of the most affordable options and a
|
| subway ride (through Manhattan) later, we
| |
| | great base to start exploring New York
|
| ended up in our lovely bed and breakfast
| |
| | City...Susanne Pacher is the publisher
|
| in a gorgeous neighbourhood, just south
| |
| | of a website called Travel and
|
| of Prospect Park in Brooklyn.Since we
| |
| | Transitions( Travel and Transitions deals
|
| didn't know the area and the website of
| |
| | with unconventional travel and is chock
|
| our B&B had provided just a tiny little
| |
| | full of advice, tips, real life travel
|
| map, we had chosen the wrong subway line
| |
| | experiences, interviews with travellers
|
| to get off from and we had to walk about
| |
| | and travel experts, insights and
|
| 1/2 hour to find the B&B, but it gave us
| |
| | reflections, cross-cultural issues,
|
| a good first look at this part of
| |
| | contests and many other features. You
