So good our ICT department decided to do a trip there...

I'm off to New York for 5 days on wednesday, generally because we can. There's some seminar thing, but mostly it's just a few days of mucking about in the USA. I'll be buying a new camera, and taking advantage of the exchange rate in several other ways. I just hope the plane journey isnt as bad as my ferry to Norway...

And I'm back! Didn't realise I hadn't updated.

In short - New York = Awesome. The flight was nice and boring, but it's a marvelous place to visit. Officially we went to attend an IT seminar, apparently that's all lies to get it approved b senior staff. Anyone who's going in future, get up early and take a walk before it gets busy. Walking around in the early morning on a nice day, with the city waking up around you, it's a great feeling. In the day it's so busy, every second person is trying to either sell you something, get you to donate to something or convert you to something. Top of the empire State building is incredible, you can see for miles, and ground zero is a very sobering place to visit. Definitely do it again.

I've got lads of stuff to upload too, there's some decent NY panoramas I spent ages stitching and a couple of decent shots I managed to sneak in too. Loving the new camera, it's a more SLR-like model and a bit of a step up, but it sure does take nice pictures. Shame it's such rubbsih weather over here.
