Title: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on September 29, 2019, 05:02:19 PM Right, that's my bags packed. I'm off to Boston in the morning, (massachusetts, not Lincolnshire). I'm spending a week there, then taking the train down to New York for a week.
I should have normal phone coverage, so should be here as usual, but just in case, I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Play nice please & don't eat all the Jaffa Cakes on the first day :) Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: BikerGran on September 29, 2019, 07:18:00 PM Have a good holiday!
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on September 29, 2019, 07:46:02 PM I'll do my best :)

Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on September 30, 2019, 08:07:59 AM Waiting to board the plane at Heathrow & I've just had a message from my mate in the Bronx to say the hotel I've booked there, (one of 3 I'm due to stay in on this trip), "isn't in the friendliest area of the Bronx"! Great. So now I'm trying to extend my stay at hotel number 2, as I'm about to get on the plane. Gonna be an interesting trip :)
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: JayJay on September 30, 2019, 08:11:03 AM Well if someone who lives there says that then you know it's going to be bad. Good luck! ;D
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 02, 2019, 03:31:43 PM Hiya.
All's well. Hotel re-booked. Overcast, but very warm here in downtown Boston. How's everyone here? Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: BikerGran on October 03, 2019, 11:36:32 AM We're surviving without you - just!
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 05, 2019, 01:51:36 AM Good -I was worried. Honest.
Busy exploring. Boston's cool, but I think I miss the hustle of New York. I was in Salem a couple of days ago. Busy, busy! Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 08, 2019, 01:50:00 PM Lost my Internet access somewhere between Boston & New York, so can only drop in here from my hotel Wi-Fi in the evenings. Hope you're behaving yourselves :)

Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:27:45 PM While I was on holiday in New York I came across a company offering tours of the city in vintage cars. Actually, they were more hotrods than vintage, but I don't suppose the genneral public would know the difference. For 45 dollars they take you on an hour long cruise around Midtown Manhattan. The driver arrives "in character" as a 1920s New York resident & you can dress in period costume if you want, to tour in style as they show you the "wonders of the modern skyscraper age". I chose to forgo that & my driver Ryan & I spent a very pleasant hour during, talking cars & turning heads wherever we went.
I arrived at the pick-up point early to find them taking photos for their driver training manual. It's a new company -they've only been in business for 2 months & they wanted to show the guides how to photograph the clients to show both them & the cars to the best advantage. I got roped into being a photographic model! Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:28:32 PM This is a 1931 Chrysler with a modern Hemi motor.
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:29:36 PM My car for the day was a 1932 model B Ford with a 350 Chevy small block.

Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:30:47 PM A fun way to get a different perspective on the city.
Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:31:17 PM My driver, Ryan.

Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:34:12 PM I also visited the starship Enterprise.
During the American space shuttle program, 400,000 Star Trek fans petitioned President Ford to name one of the shuttles USS Enterprise. He did :) Title: Re: On my holibobs Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:34:39 PM .
