We are off for four months to Manhattan in a week. It has been ten months since we last visited for a week and stayed at the Henn na Hotel, listed as one of The Best Cheap Hotels in New York City for 2023

We have learned a lot from our world trip on packing, but we will have two pieces of luggage each this time. We have also purchased a new small Nespresso machine to take with us.
As you may know, I am a bit obsessed with travel books, especially DK Eyewitness books, so we have all of our laid out…. two in English and two In French.
I have already obtained tickets for mid-February to see the taping of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
I plan on revisiting everything and will be reporting back to you.

Tip: If you travel regularly, make some simple packing notes at the end of each trip. List items that weren't used so you can be sure not to take them on your next trip.
