I received a phone call on the 30th January from Absolute Radio, they told me I would be going head to head with another contestant the following day to win a trip to NYC. I couldn't sleep that night at all, then the call came. The radio hosts had to recreate our sandwich entries, mine was the "Salted Kat"; ready salted crisps in a malted bread sandwich with pieces of KitKat. Whilst they debated it was the longest 30 seconds of my life, I won and couldn't believe it! I decided to take the break on the 2nd June. The flight was almost 8 hours long but it was so worth it!
I can now say I have been to New York City!
I visited Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and walked almost 40 miles in 3 days! My legs were aching!
