Manhattan

Far too busy to post much. Paris to London to Washington was three countries in a day. Washington and Gettysburg was old friends and new ones, new sights and places. Short flight to JFK, where we checked into the Waldorf, and have worn our feet to bloody stumps in Central Park, Times Square, Staten Island, Battery Park and other places.

Tomorrow it's a long flight to Hong Kong and then another to Sydney, where I get to meet up with the rest of my family. Will be soooo good to put my feet up for a bit!

Now, just going to look at MOMA for a bit and then a Mets game at Shea Stadium.

Long time flight

I'm going to be travelling or in transit for over a day. Four flights strung together, two of them longhaul. We've got the longest coming up in a few minutes - sixteen hours JFK to Hong Kong. Drained a bottle of Piper-H in lounge here.

Had a fantastic time at the ballgame with SKinglist last night. The Mets didn't win, and it was all a bit lame and expensive on the beer and hot dogs, but a great piece of classic Americana.

Footsore after a lot of walking. Close to baggage limits due to mad frenzy in Strand bookstore.

Intend to put my feet up in Rockhampton for five days and do nothing much except drink tea and dutyfree and read and sleep.

And maybe catch up a litlle on the blog. It's been a fantastic trip and I've got some great photographs to put up/
