Where Seventh Avenue Meets Broadway

I'm about to put a tick beside one of my life-long ambitions. In 48 hours I'll be in New York City.

As long as I can remember I've wanted to go, and this week, thanks to lastminute.com and a Google search on cheap New York Hotels, it's happening. I'm unbelievably excited. Of course, at the moment I can't see beyond the 8 hour flight - I hate flying - but the reward will be 10 days in the best city in the world.

We're staying in Chelsea, in a gay hotel in the middle of the gay district. The first thing I want to do is have breakfast in a small coffee shop in the Village. Then of course it's the Apple Store (priorities!), Macys, Central Park, the Staten Island Ferry, Rockerfeller Center and Grand Central Station. I'm going to be an unashamed tourist - I want to see it all.

I'm hoping to make at least two or three blog entries from New York, so come back soon and check out what I've been up to.

In the meantime, I have a suitcase to pack...
