Last weekend I went on a shopping trip to New York. What a great world we now live in when we can now just hop on a plane and visit a great city like New York for a couple of days. The fantastic thing was that it wasn’t even that expensive for the flights and hotels. I was actually looking in the newspaper and saw a cheap flight to New York and I decided that I should just go for it. I always thought that the prices advertised were never really the price that you got when you tried to book but I was glad to be proved wrong about this. Not only did I only have to pay four hundred pounds for the flights but my accommodation was included in that price.

The Big Apple has to be the number one shopping destination in the world. With so much temptation on offer, I really had to resist the urge to max out my credit cards. And even though I had a lot of will power, I really did spend quite a bit. There really is a lot of entertainment on offer too in New York. On the first night I visited a trendy restaurant and a few proper New York bars – the fact that I was a single woman didn’t seem to bother anyone. The next night I took in a show on Broadway and to my dying day I will never forget this experience.

I would highly recommend one of these short breaks to anyone; especially considering how cheap you can do it for. I would go again in a heartbeat. It really is good for our mental state to grab a few breaks like this throughout the year. Taking a foreign holiday once a year is never really enough but another break in the year really can make it easier to get through the winter.

When talking about huge corporations, one name that always springs to mind is virgin. That massive company founded by the great sir richard branson. There are many arms of the Virgin brand, including music reviews.
