At the beginning of September my sister & I spent six nights in NYC. We'd had our flights and accommodation booked months in advance, and I was so excited I was practically counting down the days until we could hop on a plane to JFK airport. We'd even planned what we wanted to see and do each day so we could get the most out of our time there. After all, it was a trip of a lifetime!

Our first day was spent in lower Manhattan, and due to jet lag we were both wide awake at 6am. We decided to spend the morning seeing the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island.
