Happy Christmas!! I still wasn't feeling Christmassy this morning when I woke up but Kelly had bought me a Kinder Egg which she had been carrying around since Quebec City which was so sweet! and then I sat up in bed to discover a bright red stocking on the end of my bed which was from Mike and Kate at the hostel. This put a big smile on my face before I even looked inside, I thought it was such a nice thing to do. We got some choccies, a candy cane, a I heart N...

Well it's Christmas Eve and I'm still not feeling very festive. We thought if we headed to the Rockefeller Centre to see the big Christmas tree it would put us in the festive mood. We got on the subway and ended up getting off at the wrong stop. I found the subway system a little confusing at first.

So we left Boston this morning to catch the 10.00am bus to New York. The journey took just over four hours and we got dropped off at a random bus stop.

There are 16 sites that make up the Freedom Trail- the majority of which are located downtown. 55 years ago the city of Boston realised that these sites were so historically signif...

It's been really nice the past few days here because we haven't had any snow. Today however, it started to snow :( We went to the Prudential Centre today as we were going to go up to the skywalk. It's almost become our little thing- we get to a city we go up it's tallest building! We got the lift up to the 50th floor only to discover that you couldn't see a thing out of the window because of the weather so we didn't waste our money, instead we came back down and...
