For all of my OCD friends, and surprisingly there are a lot of you, this post comes with a warning: I am skipping my last 3 NYC blogs (which are half written and full of stories involving brothels, best places to shop, tips on where to stay, parole offices and dodgy Disney characters) and I… Continue reading Getting out of Anaheim. Our day trip to Laguna Beach.

Coney Island
The kids only had two free days in NYC. The first was spent being snowed on in a slow moving bus before napping/shopping. The second proved to be a HUGE dilemma. We took the kids to Central Park in the morning and that kept most of them happy for about an hour. Then we were… Continue reading Coney Island
Riding Around New York
Our second day in New York was overflowing with back to back activities, each sounding exceedingly unenticing to a person whose main goal in life is to wander around in pyjamas, sit in parks and take frequent naps. I had been out the night before (for your reference: https://nobeladventures.com/2019/04/08/my-night-as-a-proper-new-yorker/#more-884 ) and was feeling ever so… Continue reading Riding Around New York
Central Park
Central Park is without a doubt the best thing about NYC. It almost makes up for the fact that NY businesses dump their rubbish right on the sidewalk producing all kinds of funky smells. (I'm not joking - picture evidence below) It is HUGE!! If memory serves me right I think it's about 770 acres… Continue reading Central Park
NEW YORK! NEW YORK! Bianca’s tips on NOT getting sick.
They say New York is the city that never sleeps. Regrettably for me I AM a person who LOVES to sleep (and slob). Bianca + NY = a whirlwind flurry of activities, sights, snoozes, Broadway Shows, long strolls, food and more snoozes. Apart from 1 day, where I spent an hour blogging in Central Park… Continue reading NEW YORK! NEW YORK! Bianca’s tips on NOT getting sick.
My Night as a Proper New Yorker.
When I last left you I was in Macy’s McDonalds eating Isabelle’s unwanted Happy Meal apples. I had been messaging my friend in Australia (who is American) all day and she had kindly organised tickets for me to see her brothers band all the way down town. I am a huge fan of his band,… Continue reading My Night as a Proper New Yorker.
First Day in NYC!!!
Our first day in NYC was not what I expected or had prepared for but ended up being the best day EVER!! But first we must go through a bit/lot of whinging. It is one of my finest talents (along with superb bladder control and being able to sleep anywhere - a woman of many… Continue reading First Day in NYC!!!
24 Hours of Hell
For some. Not for me though as I had a lovely 10 hour or so snooze on the first flight and then a solid 3 hours on the second flight. We left Brisbane Thursday morning and hopped on a QANTAS Dreamliner flight. 12 hours of flying would take us straight from Brisbane to LAX. The… Continue reading 24 Hours of Hell
GIRLS ON (a dance) TOUR
Four years ago I dragged Kylah to a new musical theatre school despite her loud, anguished protests that she was happy at her current one. The musical theatre school she had been at was certainly comfortable for her, but it cost me a small fortune and I could not see any progress in her abilities.… Continue reading GIRLS ON (a dance) TOUR
