Yay the big day has finally arrived as we are sending NYE in Times Square.
We had a big sleep in and decided to head into the square as I needed to go to one of the shops......big mistake.
They already had thousands of people in sectioned areas. We got blocked in with mass of people trying to move down the block. We were literally standing on other people being pushed by the mass behind us. One of the most unpleasant experiences that I don't want to repeat. So we did a quick shop stop and headed out of the square. We took the boys for pizza and headed back to the hotel :)
So we had an easy afternoon conserving energy.
We layered up and headed to the venue....easier said than done as most streets were not allowed to be used so we had to go to many access points before finally being allowed in. We lined up at the counter with every other Australian plus an English guy and a Canadian guy.
The venue was compact but drinks and food flowed so it didn't take long to reach midnight. We were allowed to go anywhere in the street with no obstruction from other people. It was the perfect view....closer than what I ever thought we would be. It was amazing watching the ball drop.....best night ever
