Hong Kong to Sydney Mon. 2 Oct

We had a great flight from JFK to Hong Kong, our flight flew over Europe, through Russia and China before descending into Hong Kong so technically we've flown around the world on this trip.

New York, NY (JFK) to Hong Kong Sun. 1 Oct

Today marks the end of our holiday and we begin our journey home. We are travelling home with Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong. We've had a fantastic holiday and it's with mixed blessings that we say adieu to the USA although we will be back soon.

Last day in NYC - Double Broadway Show day (shows 6&7) Sat. 30 Sep

Well the time has almost come for us to return home and today is the last full day in New York. We had a look at uptown Manhattan this morning before heading to our second last (show 6). We saw Waitress (Brooks Atkinson theatre) at 2pm and we absolutely loved the show. Such a great story, great songs and funny. 




Tonight we saw our final Broadway show (show 7) Dear Evan Hansen. This was such a superb way to finish off our time on Broadway. The show has amazing songs, great cast and Ben Platt was simply incredible as Evan Hansen. 




The set was amazing and it was great to finally see this show after playing the cast recording many times. Time to get some sleep before our long journey home tomorrow.
