new york, new york!

Quite scared now about setting off on the old travels; Do we have enough money? probably not... Are our plans thought out enough? Nope.. Luckily the excitement of seeing places like New York are throwing any doubts right out the window!

As Frank Sinatra said;

These little town blues, are melting away, Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york

So what better place to begin our travels than the city that never sleeps?! One thing that has helped ease my over active mind is that we've began to book hostels in every city for our arrival nights, therefore helping to guarantee that we won't be sleeping on the streets.

We used a site called Hostel Bookers which allows you to search for hostels all around the world. The site allows user reviews of each hostel and seems to support quite a large community, helping you to choose a hostel safe in the knowledge that other people have used and, more often that not, enjoyed their facilities. The site only takes a 10% deposit with the balance being paid upon arrival. We used this site to book a stay in Amsterdam last year and it worked a treat.

The hostel we chose was the Broadway Hotel & Hostel (shown below) just off Broadway. If you're there in September... Let us know!
