Bet New York is good place I bet Frank Sinatra sang a song about it, in fact he named it twice https://youtu.be/EEjq8ZoyXuQ So I like to do that bring in the new year twice. On the internet it might suggest go to Sydney then fly to Los Angeles (they are miles away) Where's the fun in that? So where's the first place that celebrates where's the last. Samoa and American Samoa That's what I would like to do Celebrate in Samoa then hop over to American Samoa which is amongst the last to celebrate Approximately 102 miles apart

During the flight we celebrated the new year three times, once for Sydney time (it was a Quantas flight with an Australian crew), again at Bangkok time, then finally at London time.

These days I'm really struggling to stay awake long enough, but to see the new year in from a tropical beach, or the top of a mountain would be nice
