Yeah, I’m from Melbourne too. Think I’ll be heading over on Boxing Day and doing some sightseeing before the tour itself.
Are you guys heading anywhere else, or just NY?- 0 people like this

Nah, just New York this time. I have to be back at work in early Jan so I thought I’d be better off spending a week or so in New York and seeing it properly, instead of spending a day or so in a few different places.
Where are you thinking of staying before the tour starts? A hostel or hotel?- 0 people like this

i’m not sure yet either. I’d prefer a hotel but hostels are so much cheaper haha. Have to have a look around and check out prices.

Yeah hostels are cheap as! I have a mate who only stays at hostels when he travels he loves them. But what do you reckon they’ll be like in a new york winter tho? I’m guessing hostels would have to have some sort of heating?

that’s the only thing thats worrying me about them! at least in a hotel i can control the temperature of the room.
surely hostels would have heating and extra blankets and stuff though?- 0 people like this

Oh wow, the Trump Soho will be great! I’ve booked the Broadway Hostel and Hotel for the few days before the tour starts, but I’m staying in a private room. didn’t know if i could handle a dorm!
i’m also thinking of either staying an extra night or two afterwards, or heading to LA for a few days on my way home.- 0 people like this
