I wanted to share my experience in New York City. I went back in September 2014 and it was the best city I've been to yet. I have always loved American things so stepping off the plane and being in a city I've wanted to visit for so long was the best feeling. I went with one of my best friends Hannah and this was our first holiday without any adults! So of course, we chose to go to the other side of the world.

We flew with Virgin and the flight was lovely. We watched loads of films, I listened to music and done a few sudoku's and word searches. They even give out mini fab lollies now which was one of the highlights of the flight. When we arrived my friend got taken off by security which was the scariest thing ever, so don't have your phone in your hand as that was the reason! 40 minutes later she came out, I even cried I had no idea what to do I just stood waiting for ages. Eventually we got our transfer and head to the hotel. We stayed in the Manhattan At Times Square hotel, I would 10/10 recommend. The room was lovely and spacious, the bed was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, I still stand by that. The hotel was so close to Central Park and Times Square.

Once unpacked, we were both so tired and feeling a little strange because it was super late in the UK but only around 6pm in New York. We didn't want to stay in the hotel and sleep we had to at least go take a stroll to Times Square, which is exactly what we did. It was incredible, everything was lit up, it was so busy but that's a part of Times Square. It was all so surreal, we couldn't quite believe we had travelled all the way to America by ourselves and paid for this amazing holiday.



 Dylan's Candy Bar. Now this place was amazing, it has 3 floors, the first 2 are full of sweets and it smells like heaven, the top floor is a cafe. It's so good and so many celebrities have been there too, they had all signed stuff on the wall so we had fun looking at that. They even had a Photo Booth which of course we had to use.
