New York Museums – Sat 4 Nov
This morning G had to drop his bag at the bag drop in Central Park so we walked together to do that. Central Park is looking beautiful with all the autumn leaves. After dropping the bag G headed back to the hotel and I went to The Met. So, it’s huge, but I am obsessed…

Brooklyn Food Tour – Friday Nov 3rd
OK, back to Friday’s activities. We began the morning by joining the Fleet Feet Morning Miles run. It was a fun way to start the day but given what was coming next it would have been good for me to run further than 3km. I told you we love food tours … and there’s even…

Marathon Sunday – 5th November
I’m skipping ahead because … Marayhon Sunday!! Today was the big day. My husband caught the bus at 5:30 am from Bryant Park. The bus driver got lost on the way so they spent 45 mins longer on the bus. This turned out not too bad because he was in the warm sitting on a…

UN, MOMA and a Musical – Wed Nov 1 2023
Thanks to all of you who commented on my photos. I couldn’t bring my proper camera due to weight restrictions so all these photos are taken with my iPhone 12 mini. Today marked the start of my husband’s intention to preserve his legs for the marathon on Sunday. In practice that means that I headed…

DC Museums and Monuments – Mon 30th October
We started our day at the National Air and Space Museum. We had tickets for 10 am. When we arrived just before opening the line stretched all the way down the block and around the corner. Once the museum opened it moved pretty fast and it was not long before we were inside. Our plan…

Georgetown Food Tour – Sun 29th October
My husband had a 20km run on his program for today so he got up and did that in the morning. When I woke I wasn’t feeling that great. I wasn’t sure whether I was coming down with something or the sore throat and blocked nose was just due to being very tired, which sometimes…

We left home at 3:40am on Friday Melbourne time and got to our hotel at 10 pm on Friday (Washington time). Door to door, that’s 31:21 hours of travel. This included…

Packing a 7kg Carry-On for 4 Weeks
If we can, we usually try to travel carry-on only, especially when we have multiple connecting flights and train travel. It’s much easier on the trains if you only have a small amount of luggage. Going carry-on also means that your bags won’t get lost on the way. Lots of connections means more opportunities for…
