Our Taxi pulls up outside the Waldorf Astoria at around 10 pm. I open the door and jump out. The first thing I noticed was the smell. The street smelled so strongly of stale pee that my eyes start to water.
Ugh. . . New York is meant to be beautiful but all I can see is an old building (The Waldorf Astoria) that smells like a public toilet. My mum paid good money to stay here, it better be a hell of a lot nicer inside!
And sure enough, it is spectacular. I look around in awe. You could fit two three bedroom houses into the lobby with ease.
The lobby is cast into a dim - golden light created by the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the centre of the room. Every surface looks like it's made from marble, except the reception counter thingy. No, that's made from mahogany wood.
"Whoah!" Kim gasps, running into the centre of the lobby and twirling around. She claps her hands and squeals. "Riley, look at that! Isn't it pretty?!" She stares up at the chandelier in fascination.
"It's gorgeous." I agree, taking her hand and walking back to the door to pick our suitcases up before mum has a fit.

It turns out I have a room for myself and my mum and sister are sharing a room. I'm thrilled about this.
I'm halfway through unpacking my third and final suitcase when my phone screeches out Despacito by Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee. Looking at the caller ID I put it to my ear.
"Hey, Steph." I smile.
"Hey, bitch. Are you there yet?" She wonders.
"Yeah. We got here about an hour ago. It's gorgeous, Steph."
"You should've phoned me straight away!" She pouted.
I roll my eyes.
"When's your first shoot?"
"Day after tomorrow." I sigh.
She lets out a fierce yawn.
"Go to sleep," I ordered her. It's 4 am back in Wales.
"Aren't you tired?" She mumbled.
"I slept on the plane."
I can feel her rolling her eyes through the phone. What? I like to sleep ok!?!
