I was in New York for Bicentennial - flew by Laker for £99 return. Spent three weeks walking everywhere, and took over 400 slides, many of which are now scanned and in the DesignClub Gallery at www.HotelDesign.net.

Memorable first trip Stateside, especailly dodging the cops to get to the beach to see the Tall Ships
