Surfing the friendly skies

I had written an entire post in the airport, but then my connection failed and lost my post. It basically had my sign off from San Francisco and I made the point that I didn't take part in any touristy activities other than eating at good restaurants. Not even one lousy picture of the trollies and cable cars, sorry.

Well New York is well trodden territory but I will try and find something novel in the city that never sleeps, even if it's only for the dear reader's benefit.

The New York Fulham supporters club watch all the matches in a bar across the road from the Empire State Building so will be heading there tomorrow at 11am for the Sunderland match. Should be good fun.

Oh, and I'm writing this on the plane to New York! Inflight WiFi. Brilliant. This flight hasn't been a roaring success however: took off some 35 minutes late, the entertainment didn't work (big screen showing Ice Age 3 -- I would have watched it) and we had the "if there is a doctor onboard" announcement almost immediately after take off. Hope they're ok. So given that someone needed medica attention, I don't think any passengers are in a position to complain about being bored.

Oot.

Can everyone on the flight stop using the internet so I can stream Spotify uninterrupted?
