Getting there.

It took a few months for it to finally happen, but everything fell into place and I was suddenly on my way to the USA armed with all the essentials, including a compass, my new quick dry towel, a bursting toiletry bag and a need for adventure.

The view from my Uncle's front door.

My flight was fine. I watched a movie and had my usual flight drink of G+T (x3) before succumbing to its suggestion and dozing for a while. Touching down in Newark, I was greeted by my uncle and we drove around Brooklyn, went to a bar before heading back to his place for a couple of beers and to do some planning for the week ahead in New York City.
