Homeward Bound

It’s 8am EST on Saturday in the New York Amtrak station and am beginning my return trip

By the time I get back it will be 8am GMT on Sunday after a 3 and a half hour train ride to Boston, a transit, checking in time, and flight back to London Heathrow. Add on the 5 hour time difference and you get to about 7am. An hour’s journey home and I won’t know whether it’s morning or night

It’s been a great 10 days which seem to have been non-stop. Think i need a nice beach holiday to recover from it.

The wedding went well, Boston was good fun and New York was great – Empire State Building, Central Park, China Town, Broadway, Times Square, Museum of Modern Art, and everything else that I can’t remember at the moment.

Couldn’t resist a stop to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue, and am now the owner of a shiny new 80Gb iPod Video (but shhhh! Don’t tell customs – they need to believe I had it before I went out) and a nifty app called Popcorn 2 so I can convert some DVDs easily into H.264 (mpeg4). Oh, and I’ll prob convert some of my huge music Video collection too so i can view it on the iPod

Thought I’d make one post on the blog while I had a few minutes to kill in the departure lounge.

Speak to you all tomorrow (I think!) or later on in the week

    Thanks – jet lag isn’t too bad but it’s gonna really hit me tomorrow I think
    The iPod is all charged up now
    Going to start off with just transferring what I have on my mac now – eventually will get my whole cd collection transferred but that will take a while I think

    Everything’s good except that our suit bag ended up on a flight to LA instead of meeting up with the others at Boston Airport. It should be landing in london any minute now and winging it’s way to us by courier before tomorrow.

    Gonna try installing popcorn in a bit to see how the videos work
