It´s been a while..


...9 years to be precise. Last time I traveled the USA 9/11 was just a date. You could carry your drinks, knitting needles and matches on board a plane. And you could check in two suitcases with 23kg each without max´ing your credit card.
Imagine my dismay when I found out that Austrian Airlines changed that to one suitcase with 23kg this January. Well, it is 3kg more than to all destinations apart the U.S. and Canada but still. Oh the things I could have bought...
Anyway. New York City here I come. It´s my first time. I´ve only been to the West Coast and Las Vegas so far. We´ll be touching down on June 11th for a week and I am very exited since this will also be our first proper vacation since 2005. During my 3 months stint working in India in 2008 I found writing/posting what I discovered in my blog fun and it made me remember a lot of small things I would by now have surely forgotten. So I shall repeat that experience here.
