Winter Holiday 2011


It has been a while since I last blogged. We've been doing lots of traveling, taking all opportunities to visit places in the US.

During the recent winter break, we managed to squeeze in two separate trips in the short span of 3 weeks. The first one was a road trip to Kentucky, Tennessee and St Louis (which I will try to cover in a separate post) and just before the New Year, we visited Niagara Falls, New York City and made a day trip to Washington D.C.

I shall not give boring details of what we ate, where we visited etc. Instead, I would like to share some photos that were taken during the trip. Enjoy!

After spending two nights in Niagara Falls, we made our way via the Amtrak to NYC on New Year's Eve. What is New Year's Eve in NYC without participating in the famous ball drop in Times Square? We braved the crowd and the cold and managed to make our way there. We stood for 6 solid hours with more than 1 million spectators, waiting for the clock to strike 12!
We visited many attractions and ate a lot in NYC! These were just the tip of the iceberg of what we ate, the famous Katz deli Pastrami Sandwich & Totto Ramen which we queued for almost 2hrs, starting at 5pm.


While in NYC, we also did a side trip to Washington D.C We took a package with Viator for a one-day trip to the capital of USA.

It was indeed a very enjoyable and memorable trip!
