As I had been to New York before, I had envisaged these wonderful wintry gems that would be great fun to do with my nephews. Things like top of Empire State and the Rockefeller Centre, the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, Times Square, Ice Skating, mucking about in Central Park and the like, these were the beautiful visions I'll call the romance.
The reality is:
The joint is packed EVERYWHERE you go because of all the tourists, it is freezing bloody cold and no matter how many layers you pile on you're still always cold, your feet get sore from all the walking, you get sick of taking coats, gloves, hats on and off all the time. Boy's couldn't even get into the M&M's shop in Times Square because of the queue.
Don't get me wrong I am totally over the moon to be here doing this, but never in the 2 and bit years of planning did I think of the reality, it was all the lovely beautiful visions I had in my mind and how simple it was all going to be.
