My favourite holiday

Dhibani Kashyap,

Most of my holidays have always been charming, but a particular trip to New York and Buffalo was very special. I had taken this vacation in 2007. At New York I did a tour of the city, watched all the famous musicals on Broadway like Cats, Mamma Mia! and Phantom of the Opera and watched Coldplay (which is one of my favourite bands) perform live at Madison Square Garden. I also bought a beautiful Taylor guitar from New York’s 38th Street. I had gone to Buffalo to attend the wedding of a very close friend and had a great time there too. Since Buffalo is located on the border of USA and Canada, we were able to take a chopper ride over the Niagara Falls. It was a truly amazing trip.
