Girls trip this year was a blast! Not only did I get the chance to explore New York! I got the chance to spend time with my siblings and grandmother. This blog post will be all about our adventures.
For starters, it was my first time on a plane. The preparation with packing is so nerve wrecking. Luckily, I was able to fit everything in one suitcase. The airport is a nightmare. My sister is an employee so we got to use the employee shuttle to our gate and that still took an hour.
On top of it all it was super rainy in Dallas. I was soaked and literally had to change clothes in the parking lot.
The prices at the airport are just ridiculous. It was my first time flying so I was not aware. We ended up eating at Fridays cause it was the most affordable.
The rain caused the flights to continued to get delayed. Some flights even got canceled. Once on the plane it was my first time. All of the seats had tvs. Delta really knows how to treat their passengers because I couldn’t really tell the difference from us and first class. I mean they were seated earlier and got the refreshments first, and I think free liquor but I was drinking too so we good. The rain cause a lot of turbulence but we made it safely.
When we arrived their airport was closed and super empty. It was around 11 pm, but we were able to catch a Uber to our hotel. We had some issues with the room thermostat and the size, but we got it together.
Manhattan was where we spent most of our vacation because it’s where the hotel was located. We only left when we went to see the Statue of Liberty . We didn’t take the tour, but we were able to see it while on the Ferry. The ferry is really nice. I like how they have the vendors around the entrance.
Manhattan had vendors on every corner. It seems they all mainly sold the same thing: rice , chicken, halal, etc. The vendors stayed open really late and the food was always fast and good . Perfect when you’re in a hurry or drinking lol.
Time Square was lit! So many different vibes, energies, and personalities. I loved every minute of it. It reminded me of like a block party. The lights and the sounds and all of the different interactions taking place at once reminded of just why I started this blog.
The restaurants in Manhattan were expensive. Definitely all worth it though. The subways were confusing as we got lost multiple times, but it was a great experience.
New York really had lots of horn honking and many flower shops in Manhattan. Overall it was a great time and I can’t wait to visit more of New York.
