I'm hoooome!

Made it back in one piece, despite London Underground neatly foiling my bus replacement avoidance plans by sticking a bus replacement service between Heathrow and Acton on the Piccadilly line. Bastards! However, it was only mildly annoying and didn't delay me significantly. I finally got home around 11.40pm. Memo to self: plan return flights better next time. Do not work it so you lose a whole day, do not come back at a day/time when everything is closed and just save up for the damn long term parking next time, it's a lot less stressful.

I will be writing up my NYC trip tomorrow but I wanted to post this thought I had while on the plane:-

Return flight to New York - £242
Ticket to see New York Mets - £27
Ticket from Penn Station - £6
Watching the Mets beat the Braves in the 14th Innings at Shea Stadium - priceless
Having a friend who stakes you money for two days after you lose your wallet on the train to Shea - beyond priceless *huggles the jenni411 to bits*

Glad you had a good time! Even if London Transport did indeed throw the proverbial spanner in the works again.

Thank you! And everytime I'm foiled by London Transport, I reflect that you and others I know wrestle with it every day. You have my sympathy :)

Nice to see you home safely, glad you had a good time. Talk to you later maybe :)

Boo to losing your wallet, yay to everything else!

Have you heard about this, by the way: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/pr.aspx?id=20060504nbc04 - details of Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme's new show, starring Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford and no end of other fab people.

Yay!

*reads link*

Wooo! That's some cast. Timothy Busfield! Yay! I love him :) I'll be fascinated to see this one. Something to look forward to! Hurrah!

I know, doesn't it look fab. Sounds rather like Sports Night which I loved, only with a comedy show rather than a sports show. I do hope it gets picked up over here.
