As usual its taken me almost a year to post my holiday photos online. I did take almost 4000……and i am queen of procrastinating so people should be grateful I did it in less than a year actually!
So my holiday was from Oct 19-Nov 20 2013. I travelled once more with my friend Grace.
Be warned – there are many pics of my fatass below the cut! Mum is always whinging I never take pics of myself on my holidays – so I tried to be in more this time….eww.
We flew to New York, then the next day caught the train up to Niagara Falls (Canada side!). We stayed there a few days, then got the train back to NYC. We then joined a TopDeck tour that went from NYC to New Orleans. Well New Jersey was actually the official pick up point (eeek New Jersey you scared me) then stopped for a few hours in Philadelphia before going to Washington, where we stayed 2 nights, then to Nashville, Memphis, then New Orleans.
Grace and I then left the tour – we stayed in NO for 4 days – the tour arrived on Halloween so that was pretty cool (except it poured with rain so the streets werent as nuts as i was hoping!).
We then flew to Orlando, Florida to go to Disneyworld. We did Magic Kindgom, Epcot and also went to Universals Islands of Adventure.
We then Flew back to New York. Grace stayed till the friday but I stayed an extra half a week and hung out with one of my online buddies for a few days so got to see a bit more of New York…..except I had the worst head cold the entire time we were in NYC so getting out of bed those last few days was a serious struggle!!!
Anyways here are some pictures….I couldnt narrow it down any more than this – we did so fricking much!!!
