Bring twice as much spending money as you think you need. Things have gone hugely expensive there now. But enjoy it Kevin, Karen whatever your name is!

Have the best time, I am taking ds in July for his late 18th birthday treat...I can't wait!!

Ifyoureacuntyoureacunt · 20/01/2024 21:33

I'm probably being naive here but I'm expecting to spend half of what I'm bringing! All attractions are already paid for it's just food, shopping and souvenirs 🛍️

You need a dual voltage hairdryer.

If you’re in a hotel there should be a hairdryer in the room.

Blimey. These responses.

It's an epic city. Enjoy

Check the weather before you go!!!

I love New York - I’ve never found it anything but friendly! I don’t know where New Yorkers get their unfriendly reputation from at all.

You’ll love it
My Dh goes there a lot with work and
I went with Dh and Dd a few years ago and had a great time I even went out exploring on my own and felt safer there than in my nearest city.We are planning on going back next year.

Ifyoureacuntyoureacunt · 20/01/2024 22:31

My relatives went there in December and they said police patrol everywhere so I'm not concerned about safety at all. My Dad however is distraught fuck me you'd think I was going to war. I'm surprised he hasn't hidden my passport.

I'm an only and he's my best mate. He thinks I'm 12. I'm 40 this year, hence the trip 🤣

Buy an adapter for US at the airport. You'll need it for your mobile.

Oh yes! I love travelling by myself I've told every partner I've ever had (now remaining single and don't want kids) don't be offended, we can go on holiday together but I'll fuck off on my own at least twice per year as well - like it or lump it.

They lumped it 😂

Staying in a hotel ? They should have a hairdryer. Went in Dec 22 was bloody cold so make sure you take warm stuff to wear and comfortable shoes.

Did the Statue of Liberty boat ride, was fab and the 911 guided tour.

Enjoy !

dailyduel · 21/01/2024 08:19

Almost a year since we’ve been (mid Feb 2923) and I am desperate to go back. We had amazing weather for 5 of our 6 days. Only on our last day did we need to wear a coat.

Have a brilliant time.

QuizzlyBears · 21/01/2024 09:24

Your hotel will have a hairdryer.
Have a great time!
