I just came back from a fabulous five days in New York so I am going to share my tips and experiences on a few of the Big Apple's major sights, the first one being the Statue of Liberty!
The Statue of Liberty was actually a gift to the United States from the French, way back in the year 1886. It was given as a gesture of friendship and was to commemorate the centennial of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence. This is why the date July 4th is written on the tablet the Liberty holds in one of her hands. In the other she holds a torch.
The statue was the first thing that immigrants saw as they reached the coasts of the United States (back in the late 1800's, early 1900's) and was seen as a beacon of hope/enlightenment and new life for the thousands of people that descended upon those shores.
The statue (correct name ...

The holiday was booked as part of a package holiday at the price of £679 per person for a fortnights stay (half board) the drinks and snacks in the hotel were very reasonably priced with cold filled rolls working out at around 30p, hot filled rolls at around 50p, crisps around 10p per pack, soft drinks around 30p per can, a pint of lager around 70p and a spirit and mixer around the same (70p). If you wanted to pay for the air conditioning in your room to be switched on it cost around £10 per week which considering it was 34 degrees or above for my entire fortnights stay was £20 well spent.

Advantages: Something to read Disadvantages: That will be up to you
I must confess I like mucking about with poetry, I excelled at it in school, however afterwards my literary skills took a downward direction. So this will be my interpretation of a mad poem.
My head fills with inexplicable thoughts,
They invade every avenue of my brain,
Like ships that traverse to many ports,
They come and go while I remain,
Locked in some time warp of space,
Sometimes no expression on my face.
Dark and gloomy aliens ravage my head,
I play host to all who trespass my mind,
They have no meaning they are not lead,
They inhabit every area they can find,
Not even the usual comfort of sleep,
Prevents me having to weep.
Why oh why do I submit to their will ,
Can I not withstand their force,
When my mind is not blank and still ...

Album Notes
Madness never disappeared but they faded away, spending years playing summer festivals and other oldies venues befitting an act specializing in nostalgia, an impression that their 2005 covers album did nothing to assuage. All this makes this 2009 release--the band's first album of original material in ten years--to feel fully realized, even surprising. The element of surprise is not in the music, which is firmly within the 2-Tone tradition they laid down in the early '80s, but rather that they've found a way to deepen their nutty sound, to offer nothing less than a mature, middle-aged spin on 2-Tone. This album is about London, and is steeped in classic British pop, using the Kinks as ground zero for a series of wry, keenly observed pop songs about the people and places in London Town. While Madness may be trading on the sound that brought them to the top of the charts, it never sounds like a vain, desperate stab at reviving their youth; they play and write as the middle-aged men they are, finding sustenance within the music of their youth, then adapting it to their lives now, finding as much mirth as melancholy in what they see.
