View Full Version : Stewies holiday Competition
Hi, its the wife,s 40th birthday next weds so I am taking her away for a few days as a surprise. If you can guess where I am taking her I will bring you back a little pressie. Fancy it ?
ok heres the rules
I want the country,city,area and hotel.
Once you get the country etc its only a matter of a process of elimination to get to the final answer.
You can ask as many questions as you like but will only get cold, warm, yes or no as answers.
Im going away on tuesday the 17th so the winner will be notified by then.
For transparency sake all questions and answers will be on the forum for public scrutiny.
Think thats it, good luck

Stewie,
I've been to New York a few times now. My son who was 14 at the time still says it's the best holiday he's had. (We've taken him to Florida (twice), various Spanish places, Cyprus (at Christmas, he did like that..) The Alps and a cruise.
He rates New York as the best city he's ever been to, as there's always something to do, a place to go something to see etc.
Have you organised a trip on "The Beast" ?? (http://www.nyc.com/guided_tours/Beast_Speedboat_Ride.76215/editorial.aspx) You must do that, absolutely brilliant.... Pier 83, West 42nd Street & 12th Avenue

Just make sure that your camera is waterproof !!

Stewie, hope u n the mrs have a great time there ... I'm sure u will ;-)
I was last there in '95 (too long ago!) ... didn't do half of what I wanted, but statten island ferry round statue of liberty was cool as it allows you to get some great shots of Manhatten skyline.
Took the last elevator up to "the summit" of the Empire State building ... totally awesome views - just wish I'd had a digital camera back then cos I lost an entire roll of film that I'd snapped from the top (only discovered it was lost once back in blighty - GUTTED).
Just don't do what we did and take a wrong turn out of NY - ended up heading for the Bronx ... locked all doors sharpish and headed back the way we came (without looking at map which= tourist which= fair game for a spot of car-jacking! LOL). Fantastic city though!

I was surprised how small it was myself....but then everything in NY is so damn tall...
Stewie: Make sure you book yourself on the open top tourist buses, they are really good value, and if you do the loop of all the loops first, you get a really good feel of where everything is. Oh and getting lost is not an option, NYC is like Amsterdam - grids, and the map's make total sense...
Oh and prepare yourself to queue and get repeatedly searched and checked everywhere you go, they have become super paranoid since the Twin Towers, and 06/06/06 (devils day)...
Thanks Stewie!! Got this in the post today! :D :D :D
