A KILLALOE long distance swimmer negotiated a treacherous strait of water with mixed current during a 45.866 kilometre swim around the Big Apple in the United States of America.
I have vacationed in New York City many times over the years, but my recent trip was the first time I have taken a Circle Line Cruise around Manhattan Island.
I grew up just outside New York City and have been there many times, but I ve come to realize that I m one of the few people that I know that has never been to the Statue of Liberty.
New York City is an amazing place with so much to see and do, heck, that s why we go there. Since I used to live pretty close to the city (just a short train ride on the Long Island Railroad or a car ride through the mid-town tunnel) it was kind of a no brainer to hang out there especially on a Saturday night.
