If ya can delay your Xmas NYC experience there are good deals to be had in Jan. If I wasn't away a fair bit first half on 2019 then I'd have booked 3 night get away myself.

Think you need a tv deal, youd do an interesting series, "Macks Travels", you show all the good stuff! 

I sent my kids a clip earlier today from a tree,I climbed it PDQ as a different angry rhino wasn't happy with my presence,I remember years ago putting a pic up on here of myself and another guy dragging a coffin out of a cave in the Philippines,we thought it contained gold,Yamashita's stuff,it didn't,just very old bones.
