New York City BABY!

So here we were feeling the fresh breeze of New York on our face and ready to head to our hotel to dump our luggage. When we reached our hotel we got a heart attack when the bill of $180 was handed over to us. To be honest we weren't even paying that much for our hotel; the amount we had to shell out just to reach one way to our hotel was outrageous.

Finally after we checked in, we tried to find the best and economical ways to commute and found out about a great shuttle service that dropped us, just for $3, in the heart of Manhattan, right next to Times Square which is one of the world’s most visited tourist attraction. By the time we reached Times Square we were famished and what better place to have our first meal than The Hard Rock Café. We filled our belly with tantalizing food and were off to the Toys R Us store where not only were the kids freaking out but so were we J. Aananya was totally smitten by the princess section and so was I. We just wanted to stay there forever. We took a ride on the 60 feet Ferris wheel inside the toy store. This was one of the most humongous toy stores I have ever seen. Kids had a blast taking pics with Minnie, Mickey, Smurf and Smurfet and we totally lost track of time.

The next haunt was M&M New York’s largest candy store and all the 3 kids ahemm 3^rd being Aakaash went crazy buying M&M. We definitely got some cute pics there. Later we visited the toy store for the big kid Aakaash – The Apple Store. Thereafter we strolled around the streets taking in the glittering and bustling nightlife of New York after which we retired to bed totally exhausted. The next day we were leaving for our first bus tour in US infact this was our first bus tour of our lives.
