As I sit in the departure lounge at Melbourne's domestic airport, I am faced with the reality that I am on the first leg towards my dream destination. Nine days in NYC await me after a brief stop off in San Fran. Tonight I will be going to Alcatraz. It blows my mind!
I have been saving for this trip for a long time. It will be my first holiday with my sister as just the two of us. I am starting to get excited.
After four very long months at work I am so ready for a break. I have been overworked and overwhelmed and I am exhausted. A part of me worries that my sleep deprived state will put a massive dampener on the trip but I hope that I can have a nap on the leg to Sydney and a proper sleep en route from Sydney to San Fran.
With a jam packed itinerary ahead of us, my sister and I plan to see all the big attractions - Alcatraz, Lombard St, the Golden Gate Bridge and views of the city from Twin Peaks. After an overnight flight to NYC we have a 48 hour hop on hop off bus tour, breakfast on the high line, Phantom on Broadway, a cruise down the Hudon on 4th of July, high tea at the Plaza, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the infamous rainbow bagel then a spot of shopping.
I can't wait. I have been planning and paying for this holiday for years. Part of me can't believe the moment is actually here and I have to admit that I am a little nervous. With a new day bag equipped with RFID proof internal pocket and cut proof straps I think I am ready for what the States throws at me. A new Nikkon D5500 from my man so I can take a million photos of the city that never sleeps and I think I am about set.
Dreams. Come at me!
