    HAHAHA to LeedsB, relax plenty of time to pack - do the small bag of important stuff (passport etc) first and then do the clothes - that way you can stop stressing about it - the stuff that matters is done everything else is a caspulse wardrobe :D

    I took such a small case I got told off for checking it in - duh I have contact lense fluid in there and its too many mls to take on as hand luggage...

    It also meant I couldnt buy anything which was handy :D

    Im one of those 'just in case' packers which make it worse! Id love a capsual wardrobe! I have 3 copies of all travel documents too:D

    kaz mex - OH COME ON! this thread is only 3 pages long... go to page 1, click on the link about getting into and around manhattan, and that guide will give you all the information you need about how to get into manhattan..

    if you're going for JFK to Midtown, you'll probably use the queens midtown tunnel, which is $4

    Oh poor you :p - I took one pair of jeans, two skirts, one dress, two black tights, two coloured tights, one pair of leggings, three tops and two jumpers/cardis, flat boots and high heels and I was done for a whole week (plus running gear and underwear of course) - that fitted into the same case I take away for a weekend break :cool:

    But then I hate to think about what I'm going to wear every day and buy everything to match what I already have :o

    I also didnt buy anything much while I was there...in fact the only shopping I did was at Dylan's candy bar and I ate all that before I got home :D

    Cant wait to go back in April and pack even less - no need for so many chunky jumpers then and I'll be on a running break post marathon so no running gear needed either :p

    I will if I can take my contact lense fluid - you're not supposed to decant it and its too big for the 100ml rule :mad::mad::mad:, I could have done hand luggage this time if only for that!

    Becky, you can get mini bottles of solution that are small enough in hand luggage. I can buy it from my opticians and they sometimes have trial sizes for new solutions which are also handy.

    Thanks KK22 - I'll look into that for April's trip - I tried to go the opticians this time before I left, but being NYE they had shut shop early and gone home to party :D

    I do think its weird though because the TSA site says saline solution is excluded anyway, but BAA site says only medicines and baby milk is...sigh.
