I’m back with the main events from our Boston and New York trip.
Lunch
The food courts in America are amazing, so we didn’t mind making a quick pit stop at one while shopping. We went to Panda Express and had orange chicken and kung po with rice. The best orange chicken ever might I add.

In New York we hit it lucky and found that our hotel was attached to Tick Tock Diner. After travelling on Amtrak from Boston to New York we arrived just in time for some …

We flew via London Heathrow which was eventful as the gate printed on our boarding card ended up being totally different to the ‘actual’ boarding gate which was at the other end of the terminal.
