NYC: The city that never sleeps (just as well)

Went to New York for the day for meetings: I got the Acelor Express over at some unearthly hour (left house at 4am), attended some of my first *proper* meetings in the US, worked in Bryant Park in between (free WiFi, very civilised). NYC is one of the best places on earth, without a doubt.

But not the best when you miss your 4pm train on the brink of holiday weekend - with every train that evening and the next morning FULLY booked apart from the 3.15am train.

There are much worse places to kill 12 hours as cinemas, restuarants, chemists, bookshops and cofee shops are all open. All the same a nightmare - got back home to Boston at 9.15am... Zzzzzzz. A surreal evening/morning.

PS Photo is from one of the 'Girls' Holidays' (think it was this year's trip - we've had a few to here on account that a friend of ours lives here*) - my friend J as we walk through Times Square.

* A friend I would go and stay with for the evening while stranded here but she's over in Boston waiting for me to get back.... typical
