A Dream Come True


For my husband's 50th Birthday this year we will be going to NEW YORK AND LONDON!!!!!! I am so excited, I get goose bumps every time I think of it. It is a dream come true for me and I just can't wait. We are taking our 4 girls for a week in each city. We even get to stay at this beautiful place for a couple of nights..


Have you been to New York or London? I'd love to hear about it..xx

WOW! That is an amazing way to celebrate his birthday! You will all have such a wonderful time. I've been to London and it is fantastic, so much history, so much to do. I haven't been to NY but hubby lived there for 6mths before moving to Aust and from his stories it sounds amazing, so cosmopolitan and the food and bars sound great. I'm very jealous Rachael, I can't wait to see and hear all the stories from your trip.

You are going to my 2 most favourite destinations in the whole world...I am so envious! I am sure you will receive heaps of advice from everyone but to add to the usual places like 5th ave or the tower of London I would also suggest shopping on the King's Road in Chelsea and the top of the Rockefeller centre in New York for fabulous views.

How exciting!!!!!

Best wishes,
Natasha.

I have been to London and New York and I had my 50th birthday in Paris last year....(plus I live in Australia).
To travel to all these amazing cities is such a joy and I day-dream about my next over seas holiday!
Have a great time!!!

I've been to both NYC and London - absolutely adored both cities but for me NYC just pipped London at the post. Both in one trip though? Ah-mazing!!

So much gorgeous architecture, museums, food, shopping! Central Park is astounding - fabulous for kids and adults alike :)

New York has an amazing energy about it - it literally never sleeps - loved it!

London has a totally different feel, also fabulous, just different!

I'm so jealous!!

I loved New York and I would love to go again. One store I loved was Anthropologie, absolutely gorgeous. We also visited Tiffany's and ended up in the audience of the David Letterman show, and of course saw a show on Broadway.

YOu lucky lucky thing. I would love to go to New York. You will have to examine a Tranquil townhouses New York photos.
I have been to London Twice and loved it. So much to see and do. Don't forget Liberty and Harrods and of course the Palace.

What would you like to know about London..?... Born and bred in SW London and slowly moved down the river until I ended up by Chelsea ( Kings Rd ) and departed 11 yes ago but am back every other year.

You will have a ball..it's a fab city and the Westfield in Shepherds Bush now has very single shop you would ever want under one roof!!

Dream away... So much fun x

Stephanie said...

What a trip!!! Fabulous! I love both cities but I am much more familiar with London going there more often... (5 times within the last two years...)
You will need careful planning and careful selection :-) Enjoy and I am always happy to share info....

That is such exciting news...I've lived in London and can vouch it as a brilliant city. The Kings Road and Covent Garden and the best places to shop. xx

Claudia said...
