The first time when I was in New York, with my parents, we were there, because my mother wanted to celebrate her fiftieth birthday.
When we arrived at the JFK (John F. Kennedy) international airport, we got into a taxi cab and we drove to our hotel. After checking in, we got up to the twentieth floor and left our belongings in our room. After that we went outside looking for a place where we could eat something small.
On the next day we walked to Times Square and from there to the memorial place of the twin towers.
That evening we got lost, when we were looking for a place to eat. Eventually we found our way back, to the hotel and we decided to go for the pizzeria across the street.
On the fourth day we got on a ferry and it took us around Ellis Island. We got a few nice pictures of the Statue of Liberty and some of our selves.
On our way back we had to stop in Amsterdam, as on the way to New York. Our holiday lasted totally for five days, it was an experience of a lifetime.

I have never been to New York but I've always wanted to go there. It's so well known allover the world. But the flight takes something like ten hours, doesn't it? And the time zones, hmmm.., it takes couple days to get used to the local time, so if you go, you should stay at least four days, I think. But you were there five days, sounds good:) After reading your story, it made me want to go to New York even more! It's so famous for all these buildings you can go to see and this sightseeing stuff. And fashion;D By the way, it's quite scary to get lost in a foreign city, but luckily you can always ask somebody. Nice picture!

Visiting New York definitely is an experience of a lifetime! I went there at a time when the Twin Towers still existed, so I got to go up to the view deck on the top floor. Strange to think that today there is only a memorial place there now.
