I went on a short shopping trip to New York last weekend. Being able to head over to a place as wonderful as New York for a couple of days really is a sign of the times. The fantastic thing was that it wasn’t even that expensive for the flights and hotels. I just decided to go for it after seeing it advertised in the newspaper. I always thought that the prices advertised were never really the price that you got when you tried to book but I was glad to be proved wrong about this. Not only did I only have to pay four hundred pounds for the flights but my accommodation was included in that price.
Many people actually consider New York to be the shopping capital of the world. With so much temptation on offer, I really had to resist the urge to max out my credit cards. Even with a lot of self control I still ended up buying a lot. The other great thing about New York is the entertainment. On the first night I visited a trendy restaurant and a few proper New York bars – the fact that I was a single woman didn’t seem to bother anyone. The next night I took in a show on Broadway and to my dying day I will never forget this experience.
I would highly recommend one of these short breaks to anyone; especially considering how cheap you can do it for. If I had the chance I would go again tomorrow. If you can take a break or two throughout the year, it does wonders for our sanity. One foreign holiday a year is just not enough – a weekend break is enough to keep us going through the winter – at least that’s what I think anyway.
As far as huge corporations are concerned, everybody must know about virgin. That’s right, the huge monster of a company founded by the indomitable richard branson. Among many of the virgin brand names are music reviews.
