New York, USA

PA PA PALALA... visiting with Frank Sinatra in mind, and Jillian as a great Guide and very very nice host, we spent really good time in that AMAZING city! Walking in the streets with the eyes always up to the sky, your neck hurts after half an hour but worth it! From Manhattan to China Town, the atmosphere changes every 5blocks, it's like visiting 10 countries in one big city! As good tourists, we had to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island (very fascinating visit), Central Park, Time Square, Bryant Park also which is very very nice at night with all these cute couples hanging around and climbed up the Empire State Building at Night! How can People can live so close to each other!? Only in this big amount of lights, there are more people concentrated here than in whole Sweden!
Again, Thanks again to Mike and Jillian for being great people and allowed us to fly over NYC in a little plane, something that we will never forget and realise how lucky we are that we did it! THANK YOU GUYS, You are AWESOME!

New York City, with a population of over 8.1 million, is the most populous city in the United States. Alone, it makes up over 40 percent of the population of New York state. It is known for its status as a center for finance and culture and for its status as the largest gateway for immigration to the United States.



















Ellis Island is an island in new York Harbor and was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States as the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 until 1954.



Central Park is a public park at the center of Manhattan in New York City. The park initially opened in 1857, on 3.41 km2 of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick lax Olmsted  and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873.
Designated a National History Landmark in 1962, the park is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the city government. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 83.5% of Central Park's $37.5 million dollar annual budget, and employs 80.7% of the park's maintenance staff





Times Square iconified as "The Crossroads of the World"and the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.




Bryant Park is a little privately managed public park located in the New York City borough of Manhattan.


The Empire State Building is a 102-story skyscraper at the intersection of 5th Avenue and West 34th Street. It has a roof height of 381 meters, and with its antenna spire included, it stands a total of 443.2m high. Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, the Empire State. It stood as the world's tallest building for 40 years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World trade center's North Tower was completed in 1972.
