The state itself becomes a super whatnot

Told you I went to New York. Took these on the camera on my phone after my digital camera failed, any pics that I did have on there have now being wiped somehow so apart from a tonne of memories and some killer stuff this is what I've left my trip with.









Good times. I still can't decide where to go next time. Its most likely either back to New York, Boston or Chicago, though today I had a sudden desire to go to Toronto. I'd love to visit North Carolina too. A quick look at Opodo today at prices has got me thinking that May would be a good time in terms of price of flights. If not then it'll probably be September/October when (though that should be 'if' I guess) I go.

Back to Brooklyn?

Contrary to how it appears, I haven't forgotten about this thing.

Keen readers (though I'm not sure how keen you could possibly be about this blog) are probably wondering why I've not uploaded any of the pictures I've taken from New York, not that there's loads. I will do, at some point soon, honest. This is supposed to be my Year of the Upgrade and except from hitting the gym I guess I've not done too much in that regard.

This will change.

Unsurprisingly I'm keen to go back to America this year. Its more than likely a choice between these three cities.

Boston
Chicago
New York (again)

New York the first time round wasn't quite everything I hoped it would be for a myriad of reasons none of which I'm at pains to discuss right now, so I'd love to do it again. Of course Boston and Chicago (and about a billion other places in that country) have the appeal of me never being there before. Hmm. Hard choice between just those three and I could easily throw Philadelphia, Portland and North Carolina into the mix.

I reckon I'll be looking to go in early autumn (or fall as they say over there) so August to mid-October, hopefully the weather will be decent like it was last time. I wish flights weren't so bloody expensive mind, they're way dearer than last year and direct routes just don't seem to exist.

Anyway more news on this front as we (or I) get it.
