D2 New York - Brooklyn
July 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Impressions of New York so far:

- Brooklyn is rad. With its old school
Industrial architecture and views of both downtown and uptown Manhattan.
- It feels just like the movies depict it. It’s beautiful and quirky.
- It’s expensive - think queen vic night market prices but in US dollars. So a grilled pork panini (delicious!) cost 13 usd.
- Their public transport system has a lot of character, energy and life. Aka there’s plenty of homeless people singing, selling Oreos and water and speaking to themselves.
- Customer service (even when tipping isn’t necessary) is excellent. This may be influenced by the tipping culture however.

TOP 3 Highlights of today:

1. Brooklyn - wandering the Williamsburg and Dumbo neighbourhoods. Eating at Smorgasburg and getting custom made jewellery...for Anthony
2. Brooklyn Bridge - walking with the masses across the wooden boardwalk while dodging local hoons on bicycles.
3. REI - Kate had her first introduction to this US icon. We broke the budget, and it’s only day two...Read more

D1 Sydney - Up We Go
July 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Sitting here on the tarmac in Sydney and we’ve travelled a total of a one hour flight but both feeling it having been up since 2am. Anthony is grumpy because we’ve not been able to score an isle seat. It’s been a very peculiar check in process to the good ole days when you’d lob up to the checkin counter and ask for an exit row seat and they give it to you if you look tall and are kind.

On a more positive note (says Katey), the seats are a lovely shade of forest green. Maybe it’ll keep Anthony calm across the Atlantic! Ha.

The sun has started to shine through morning showers here in Sydney, and we’re very excited to be heading to somewhere warmer.

Until then...Read more

On the train on my way back to Melbourne. For me, I feel like this is the beginning of a very long journey all the way to NYC.

This is also a test post, as I’m writing this in airplane mode and hoping it saves and posts when I’m next in a wifi zone.Read more

Just a quick drop off with the car, before jumping on the train back to Melbourne to fly in just a few days time.
Plus some gardening therapy, as it’ll be a few months before I get my hands dirty (maybe...).
See you later mum and dad! XRead more
