I set out from a very grey London on a cool day. The breeze was blowing, the clouds were encroaching...it was a good day to think of summer sun gleaming off glass towers in Manhattan.

| The belly of the beast, aka Heathrow Terminal 5 |
We shut the plane doors ten minutes early...then spent another hour and a half sitting on the tarmac because one of the boarding passengers had dropped their live phone down a ventilation shaft, and airport engineers had to be called to hunt for it in the fuselage.
A cramped but quiet flight followed, and then a long shuffling through Immigration...but at last, at long last, we were together. Together in New York!!!
The very first thing we did was head out to the awesome Hudson Market to stuff our faces with rice bowls and edamame-tofu poppers.
The second thing...was the last thing on the agenda for that day.
But we look forward to being out and about in the following weeks! Watch this space.
