Last stop New York, New York

Believe it or not it is the end of our trip but we are ending it off with a bang! NEW YORK!

So much to see, so little time... We have checked the Apollo Theater, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State building, Central Park, Tom's restaurant (Monk's Diner in Seinfeld), SoHo, Chinatown, Little Italy.... i could go on all day! We also met up with Rik's parents who perfectly timed a trip for their 30th wedding anniversary.

We have had so much fun, but it is time to leave and get back to the real world. We are looking forward to seeing everyone back in Australia. Check out some pics below...

Starting off with a classic, amateur night at the Apollo in Harlem.

Map update

The trip is almost over. We are spending the night in Fort Washington, PA just north of Philadelphia. Check out our updates from Savannah and Washington below :) Next stop NEW YORK!!

Washington D.C.

The first car to cross the US at display in the National Museum of American History, quite a similar setup to ours apart from the dog.

Cool optical illusion in sculpture park

The Washington Monument

The big A.L.

The white house. We couldn't really get as close as we wished.

Savannah, GA

Savannah was fun, a little bout of food poisoning but all in all a success. Savannah is an old restored town on the coast of Georgia.

Miami and shuttle launch

So we are on the tail end of our trip now. We have seen and done a lot but still have a lot to go! We had fun in Florida, lots of sun and relaxing :) Miami was fun, we stayed in a bit of a nicer place then we are used to and we took full advantage of the 2 hotel pools. After Miami was Titusville where we saw the STS-132 Shuttle launch, which was amazing! We were excited to just watch the launch, imagine how excited the astronauts that were sitting in the front of the rocket were!
