Our final day was a bit disjointed as our flight back home was not until 10:30 pm and we had to check out of the hotel by late morning. They kindly minded our bags for us while we decided to use the final part of our Gray Line ticket – the ferry trip to Lady Liberty. We caught the downtown bus, yet again, although given the rain was sticking around, we just sat in the downstairs area and rode it as a normal bus, given we already knew all the facts by now having been on this loop so much! When we got down to the Pier area we had just missed the ferry. The next one was n half an hour so we went and grabbed a coffee on Wall Street. The ferry was not very busy and we braved the rain and wind and went on the top floor – open air. I love boats and water and was very happy. It was nice to see Manhattan from the water. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was amazing. She was beautiful, but still not as big as I expected. We didn’t stop to get out at Liberty Island but got a...
Well, it's no secret I've been pretty quiet this year. To be completely honest, it's been a shit, shit, shit year. Glad to see the end of it. That being said, the music this year has been amazing and I've been spoiled for choice. So it's December. That time of the year when I come out of hiding to celebrate. No, not Christmas. THE MISHA FITT TOP 100 COUNTDOWN of course! Now in it's 19th official year. Thanks again mostly to Google Music user Rhys Bailey and his epic Triple J playlists I have a record number of songs to choose from. Also, what a year for my throwback bands? Pennywise, Bad Religion, No Fun At All, Down By Law, Slick Shoes, Millencolin... So here is the official pool of songs that this years' Countdown will come from. Give or take any last minute entries as there is still a couple of EPs due to drop which are of intrigue to me (cough*AFI*cough). Song Artist Sirens A Second Plan Dream Abraskadabra Left...
It’s no secret that I’ve always been obsessed with America. I am not sure why it took me nearly 33 years to get there but I suppose spending most of my life in Australia is a pretty good reason – It’s just so far away! But my lovely husband surprised me this year with an Easter/Birthday weekend trip to NYC. A place so familiar to me it was like walking on to the set of a TV show or movie. (Although it seems everything is ACTUALLY filmed in Canada these days). We arrived into NYC late at night after a pretty lousy 7hr flight via British Airways* and after a very lengthy exit out of the airport got into our very first yellow cab. A very touristy thing to do but hey. I didn’t feel like I was in the USA yet. Not even driving into the city. It wasn’t until we got into our hotel room and I looked out the window and was surrounded by skyscrapers and the streets were filled with taxis and Times Square was a flashy horizon that I truly felt like I had arrived. After a very yummy but ...
