AMAZING crazy New York!
We had four great days/nights in this area and it was just amazing the whole time being there and an absolute BUZZ travelling on subway and walking around anywhere that was New York.
We luckily found a Caravan/Trailor Park in downtown New Jersey so it was only a 20 minute train journey up to New York City which is what we did on the first day! I was just amazed to think here we all were standing in Times Square New York City. We took some time to just soak in all the atmosphere. We wanted Jordyn, Matt and Joanna to attend Wicked Broadway show whilst we were there so we thought the Time Square bookings office was for cheap tickets but it turned out it was going to cost $600. Then they suggested lining up for cheap seat lottery which meant only a small chance of your name being called for two tickets at $30 each. We all wrote our name down and unfortunately no one called on that day....we met some lovely people in line and also met them the next day....We met a man from Utah who asked us if we were Mormons ourselves which felt great that he could spot that in us. That day was Sunday and we thought because we were lining up that day we wouldnt get picked and thats right we didnt. We were supposed to leave New York on the Monday but we all conned Dad to stay one more day as there were no Wicked shows on Monday, just to try lottery on the Tuesday for the last time. Third time lucky....woohoo - Michael and Jordyns names were called out which meant everyone who hadnt seen it could go plus mum of course. Jordyn, Matthew and Joanna loved the show and the atmosphere! I love watching them being so happy and experiencing new things. I also thoroughly enjoyed the show again and felt proud that the Aussie production was just as good.
