From cold to hot

Only in New York can you get the restroom flower show show of the week, like all USA they were also in Christmas mode










Didn't think I'd get to see the NY Christmas shop windows, but on the last day we managed a quick visit to the city for some last minute things, a look at the windows, L&T's and Macys, this one from Lord and Taylor on 5th Ave, but they weren't as upmarket as some I've seen in previous years. Couldn't leave without a last meal at Eately, which will become a before flight necessity in the future,















After leaving the freezer, I managed to get a Premium economy seat from LAX to BNE using some of my ff points, arrived fresh and ready for the day, after shedding my winter clothes, Jan met me, Dave was away, we went to the markets, had a coffee and then my favourite flower to greet me at the back door.













I hardly had time to turn around before I was on the plane to Fiji for a few days in Suva before leaving for Natadola resort for Christmas, We had three monkeys in the car, two human ones and one hitching a ride







Its nice to be close to nature, and I mean close, this birds nest is in the shrubs at the side of the carport at the Suva house
