We are cashing in our Hilton honors points for the hotel, I think we are staying at a doubletree that used to be an old courthouse in the Soho district.
Wow that sounds kinda naughty.
Nah, plenty of stuff to see right here in the ole USA . Plus, Erope is a little too claustrophobic for me. My parents have been a few times since they retire. I love their pictures, but cringe internally just thinking about how close everybody is crammed together there. I'm a wide open place guy.
You should try Hong Kong some time. They ran out of real estate, so everything started going up. Almost everybody lives in high rise apartment buildings. I hit the subway right at rush hour one time...that was a sight to behold. I'm 6'2", so I could see across the entire station, but it was nothing but a see of bobbing black hair.
Ooh, please do keep the recommendations coming. I only have 5-6 days there (tacked on after a business trip) but I want to see the best stuff in my short time.
I had a great time on the infamous No. 7 train a few weeks back after checking out the new Citi Field. Nothing like being wedged together far beyond the limits of safe occupancy with a bunch of people with meat sweats and beer farts on an 85 degree day.
I'm with you there. I'm 20 miles from Boston but haven't just gone there to see the sights in the year I've lived here. Though granted I have seen several of the bit tourist places in the past. I'm fortunate to live by several of the reservoirs that serve the area. There are some really nice state parks out this way where you have no idea you're not in a huge, sprawling subburb.
I believe that you just PROVED that you're an engineer. So the answer to your question is yes.Okay, so this isn't exactly in London, but I thought I'd mention it b/c you're only going to be day's drive away

I'll be in England this summer, and we are planning on heading up to northern England/southern Scotland for a portion of our trip. I will be tantalizingly close to this, I may have to insist we take a break from touring the countryside and old castles and go see this thing in person.
Is it sad that I really haven't been all that excited about taking this trip until now?
I'm not sure on the SIM card, but be sure to unlock your phone before you go there, I had to wait 3 days for my unlock code. If there's only one person calling you, consider getting a phone card and having them call your new cell number.
See, I wouldn't have known about cool stuff like this if wasn't for this board. Thank you! Is it sad that I really want to go see this now?Is it sad that I really haven't been all that excited about taking this trip until now?
