Visit to New York USA and Washington DC in 2001-2002

Visited USA on official assignment which provided opportunity to roam mainly in Manhattan, New York at ease for four months and Washington for three days. Had heard about the sky-rappers of NYC since school days. NYC, the city never sleeps, is vibrant all the time and you see multicultural flavors in the city. Visited the city within one month of the 9/11 disaster.  Very impressed with the New York City Subway is the world's largest rapid transit system by length of routes and by number of stations. 13 million passengers are using the subway system every day.

One of the best tours which we enjoyed thouroughlt with a lot of excitement. We were hearing about Europe, Eiffel tower and especially beautiful nature of Switzerland and our dream came through.

Visit to Llandudno, Britania Bridge and Lanberis Pass on 25-Dec-1999

A fantastic day out on the Christmas day with Sadhan and Priyanka with a lot of excitement  !!! A day  to remember for life  which was as short day and chilled with near sub-zero temperature. There was hardly any  traffic on the road as people were celebrating the big day at home.  The travel through the Llanbaris Pass was totally in isolation with no vehicle crossed for nearly 2 hours. No mobiles, no connectivity creating excitement among all of us. Any how reached the national high way A55 after long two hours with out any problem.

A day to remember forever ... !!!

Enjoying the strong and cold wind at ... !!!
