A mild case of jet lag wasn’t going to stop the travel agents on Qantas Holidays & Viva! Holidays Trip birthday reward famil from enjoying their first full day in New York City.
Yesterday the group set out and visited the NYC Information Center; made their way through the Rockefeller Center to the ‘Top of the Rock’; strapped themselves in for the NYSKYRIDE; soaked up the breathtaking views from the Empire State Building (ESB) and cheered on the NY Mets baseball team to victory at Mets Stadium.
