Please hold your hands together for us – we are in the midst of an airport mishap.  We are in the lounge at Newark Airport, New York.  Our flight to Atlanta was due to leave at 1.26pm and the queue for security was an hour long and snaking right through the terminal.  When we got to the desk to board, we were informed that the flight had gone without us.  Tears.  We are rebooked on another flight leaving at 2.50pm but our bags went on the previous flight. 

My friend who is meeting us off the flight informs us that Atlanta airport is bad for people just walking up and taking other people’s luggage.  He’s going to try and find our bags before we get there, but we need all the help we can get right now.

New York

Some of us have been sick, all of us are tired, but what we like so far about New York is a)  they speak an almost comprehensible form of English and  b)   we feel thin all of a sudden. 

We managed a few things: Times Square day & night / Toys ’r Us / F.A.O. Schwarz Toystore / Tiffany’s on 5th Avenue / MoMa Design Store / World Trade Centre / Wall Street / Sex And The City movie / Staten Island Ferry / Statue of Liberty / Greenwich Village / SOHO / Century 21 / Prince St shopping / Blick’s Art Materials / NY Central Art Supply / West Side Story musical show on Broadway / Metropolitan Museum of Art / Central Park / Guggenheim Museum
