New York city, USA

Manhattan from the Empire State Building

So this is it. The trip is over and I am coming home. I am all done but will be happy to see you all, have a beer and catch up. My flight home gets me into Heathrow on Monday 25th of July at 7.10am, flight number VS004, flying Virgin.

 

This will be the last email of my trip and will not look at my emails again until I am back home. My (same old) Orange UK mobile will be on after a few hours. Mobile: 07980 885595   or   Home: 01737 247603

 

I have had a great time in New York over the last few days. I've just finished a 17 hour tour run by the hostel around the city. I'm going to bed for the last time in a dorm room so that's great.

 

Take care and talk/see you all soon. Simon
