Long Weekend in New York, March 2005

Jonathan and Catherine travelled to New York (JFK airport) on the 23rd March 2005 where we stayed on the 49th floor, at a friends apartment in Midtown Manhattan. The location couldn't have been more perfect, right in the heart of the city over looking the river and docks. The trip to New York was all a bit last minute, since we booked flights only the day before we left (!) - I've never done that before, but it felt good and added to the excitement of the whole trip.

Thanks to Louise for the use of her apartment, as some of the photos below will show, the experience was simply awesome. I look forward to going back one day.
