At long last…a bite of the Big Apple

Posted by Chris on Jan 23, 2009 in Americas, USA |

Well, in a rather sudden move over a few beers with a colleague a few weeks ago, I have booked up to go back to the USA again…and I’m going a week tomorrow!  The discussion led to me checking the flight prices with KLM, purely as a matter of interest. I expected to laugh at the sheer expense of the flight…but for a change, this wasn’t the case. For just £350 I have a ticket to Boston (via Amsterdam), flying home from JFK (via Paris).

The plan is to fly in to Boston (obviously..), spend a few nights there, then head to up-state New York and the Adirondacks State Park & Lake George. From there, down to New York City! It’s been a long time ambition for me to go to the Big Apple…so this will be a trip to remember. I’m only away for a week (due to work!) but there is quite alot planned, and with the cheap air tickets, it’s well worth it. Opportunities like this don’t crop up every day after all.

The route (roughly):

So…more on that at a later date. I am spending this weekend in Holland, as I have to work there on Monday…and the flipside of cheap transatlantic travel with KLM, is the silly pricing to Amsterdam. But no matter, there are worse places to spend a weekend. Unfortunately, it’s forecast to rain alot.
