My Spanish Vida

Last weekend Mark and I went for a little drive and explore around our local area.  We are very lucky to be surrounded by blue flag beaches here on the Costa Blanca,  but we were absolutely blown away when we stumbled over these beaches. The colour of the sky was just stunning when the  sun peeped out from behind the clouds. Hurry up Summer! I'm itching to feel that sand in between  my toes and swim in that gorgeous sea!

We flew on  Norweigian  out of Gatwick straight to JFK. We were very impressed with the in-flight service (considering it's low cost!) the aircraft and Cabin Crew.  (I'll chat more about Norweigian in a separate post I think!) We arrived on the Thursday night and stayed at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central. We've stayed at the hotel before, but we weren't too impressed this time. Nevertheless, it was a great location and we were just keen to get our trip going! Friday 26th February '16 -  My Birthday! We woke up mega early! As you do when you first get to the States. Showered and dressed we went to the Starbucks around the corner for coffee, a breakfast muffin and to grab some free wifi (you know how it is, ha!)! For me Starbucks always tastes so
