I’ve really enjoyed reading along with your trip. I’m pleased Brooklyn improved NY for you on the last day! I surprised myself by really loving New York, I had no real inclination to visit but had such a great time. Reading your experience made me appreciate how lucky we were to go with family who had been before as I could imagine being really frustrated and annoyed with the place-I’m pretty sure we would have had a nightmare with all the trains and subway too. We went in October and it was hot in the stations I remember thinking it would be unbearable in the summer, I also said I couldn’t imagine wanting to walk around the streets much with the smell of all the rubbish!
How great to explore so many other places, I love that you ate your first lobster in Maine. I would love to go on a road trip when my kids are older-I was thinking about a trip around New England but I’m not sure I could survive the whinging from them during the car journeys! Thanks for sharing your trip, I’m going read some of your other reports for further inspiration.
