Jean here again!!! Craig is asleep, knocked out by the time change between New York and London. What wimps young people are!

Craig here! Back up just in the nick of time to stop my Auntie Jean bad mouthing me! This so called wimp didn't sleep at all on the plane and stayed up til almost 2pm this afternoon allowing his tired Aunt to go to bed and recover while he waited on a return call from Kirsty Louise after some difficulties with the hotel booking. Kirsty Louise is on it though and all should be fine.

What can I say about the Big Apple?! What a city, so fast and busy I really enjoyed it. Spent a great birthday there and, to be honest, getting caught in a ridiculous heavy rain storm for about half an hour was so unbelievably funny it was the maybe the highlight so far! (Close 1 with the live Cuban Jazz music though) The mass hysteria and screaming from grown men, particularly a foreign gent sitting next to me on our open top tour bus had me, Auntie Jean and many others in fits of uncontrollable laughter. You had to be there!

Ochiltree - Yes I'd be happy to come and visit you guys after we get back and yes I'll also bring my acoustic guitar. Also, here's a wee question - What do you know about the Japanese Royal Family?

Next time you here from us we'll be in Tokyo! Sayonara!
