I am still desperately trying to put thousands of pics in some sort of an order. My BF and I love taking A LOT of them so, after 6 weeks of living in New York, we’re swamped with them. This reminded me of our small adventure 2 weeks ago, when our friend’s brother visited from Atlanta and took us on a small trip in the Big Apple, showing us placed we might have not seen otherwise.

Today it rains in New York. I am again sorting pictures and trying to find the ones that are worth posting online. I recall our 7 hour trip to the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in New York, plus a stroll in the famous from all the police movies Chinatown. Yeah, 7 hours, you read correctly.

Few months ago me and my “man” came from our first vacation in Dubrovnik with hundreds of wonderful photos and only good words about the place. It’s amazing, it’s beautiful, it’s a dream.

Our first “serious” trip outside Romania was few years ago, when we wanted to go to Numismata (an European Numismatic Convention) in Munich. My boyfriend worked in the city for some years previously and was confident we won’t get lost in there. But still, there was a problem: accommodation.
As in any normal city, we have lots of travel agencies in Timisoara (where we live in). With amazing offers to get you to the other side of the world, discounts, 5 star hotels, anything you want. Still there were still people …
