Thanks and there I was thinking you were telling me of a premium outlet in NYC!

I have been given some info on Woodbury, so looks interesting. Although the wife will try and shop 24/7 in NY an outlet may give us some breathing space (to and from it!).

TBH we've never gone to it - its just that little bit too far out to justify giving up the day to do (we never rent a car, so with that its train/bus) - the jersey Gardens one is a quick hop out of the city and you can do it quite quickly, it also has a cinema which is worth it for catching a film at a non extortionate price.

We like manhattan too much to give up too much time to something we can do when I'm elsewhere in the US

It sounds like we may have to go back. We really are a bit strapped for time so a quick flit suits, but I'm sure we will be gagging for more (even shopping). Thanks for all your input, it's interesting hearing everyone's experiences, recommends and ideas.

I've been to all of those except Cuba (which doesn't do it for me) and only got back from Barbados in mid July, so this is one to use up a freebie without taking too much time and effort. NYC is about the only place on VS list that my OH hasn't been. We travel a lot, both AU cardholders so the miles stack up. Although this is a complete freebie (one of their Select Vouchers) for being bumped off an UC flight by 24 hours to BGI in June.

So have I

Been to all their stops except Africa (Cape Town-Won't go to Jo'Berg)

How about Dubai?
Vegas? Their Gatwick fleet has been upgraded.
Delhi for a whirliind long weekend?

What's wrong with Cuba?
Unique place. Don't go AI-get to a Casa and enjoy the real Havana!

Miami-Ug :eek:
Fl Urg... :eek::eek:

Yes done Dubai and Vegas.

Would you prefer a list of where we haven't been? My wife worked for VS hence why we are seasoned travellers, but we never got to NYC together, well she didn't get there at all.

As you pointed out, it is TOO late. We have booked for NYC. We did this because it is where we WANT to go. The other options given in this thread were interesting and may be something we do in the future, but you seem intent on me going somewhere else. It's a done deal.
