Take a blanket! That's my sole tip! and prepare to get a bit skanky. Have been on trains for two days and in severe need of shower!
Think tv presenting may be perfect career for me. Wait till you see the wonders of video 2!

Loved the video! Have you considered a career change to holiday destination tv presenter??
Sounds like your having a good time out there, and really using your time well. Things in London have been good but busy. I've been organising a lot ready for Canada. If you have any travelling tips let me know. Keep having fun!
Love and prayers

Sadly no, there has been no mob action during my stay. Apparently, however, the name 'the windy city' comes from the quantity of breeze chatted by Chicago politicians at some point or other in history - no joke! Can't remember the event though. Am off on next adventure! See ya soon love!

You've been living in London too long, Rowan. A Scot complaining about the cold? Pish!

Interesting and mind expanding is exactly it! Currently working on where to have lunch tomorrow and how not to die when going down hill on rollerblades...

IS there some catty version of sign language you can learn? Try charades...

Hi there. Weather here reverted to usual rubbish - must be Global warming.

Am waiting with intense interest to hear of the interesting and mind expanding projects you are embroiled in. :-@

Copper caught a bird yesterday - now that he's deaf I can no longer appropriately counsel him.

Hi Row
Are you actually doing any work at all, in between gin-soaked visions of rats and cockroaches? Enjoy Washington!

Great to hear you are enjoying NY, make sure you exploit the delis and have the odd sandwich.

Ok. Am new to this whole blogging thing (yeah, yeah I know) but embracing it for the sake of our friendship. The many boxes on this screen are really quite scaring me.....

Anyway, - you're there!! And you haven't been shopping yet, what's WRONG with you?? Very glad to hear you've been checking out the parks and they have lived up to expectation. An afternoon in Central Park is hard to beat.

In terms of a bit more culture the MOMA is pretty good and quite doable for an art gallery. And if you do get chance to go up the Rainbow Room on top of Rockefeller then make sure you have a manhatten for me and tell me what it's like. One of my big regrets that I didn't do that.

Ooooh and you must walk over Brooklyn Bridge too. I found it really terrifying!! If you do it, you'll either think I'm a total wuss or you'll totally get it. I'll wait to hear!

Handmaid's Tale. I thought one was supposed to read trashy novels on vacation? That's seriously hardcore. Not one of my faves have to say but glad you enjoyed. Suggest War and Peace or Anna Korenina next (both are bricks should see you through your long train ride).

One more thing - you MUST MUST do the Circle Line Boat Tour. MUST.

Anyway, glad to hear you're loving it. We're missing you. You're probably not missing us quite so much ;-0)

God Bless
