New York City Bucket List

-

In just four days we will be having an extended layover in this wonderful city. As far as I know there's an endless list of things to do while in NYC. I wish we could do them all, but we will only be here for an afternoon, I have to plan it out good, so i've decided to create a New York City Bucket List.

Brooklyn Bridge

If time permits, I want to take a walk across it, from here I should be able to take many pictures, some blurry some not. Especially of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan Bridge, the Empire State Building, and the skyline.

The Empire state building.

Can't go to New York city and not see the empire state building, I know there won't be enough time to go up but at least from the bottom!

Rockefeller

View the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree as close as I can.

A few other must-do's

Central Park.
Visit the 911 memorial.
Do a lot of walking.

This is a very short list but yet again. it's only an afternoon.  They say that the rockefeller and the empire state at night have breathtaking views, I don't know if we'll be going up any skyscrapers but i'll save that for a future date.


I might not have neough time to do everything but i'm going to ask anyway, is there anything else we should do during our 16 hour layover in NYC worth adding to our list?

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
