There's No Such Thing As The Greatest City In The World But, If There Was, It Would Probably Be New York City

Thank you for such a good laugh tonight!
I feel the same way about Woodbury Commons. Never exactly feel the trip is worth it. However, it sounds like your Liz and Anne Marie fared well in the shopping department -- good for them!

Oh JJBhoy, you have me in hysterics again!! And I agree, if we only had audio here..I would love to hear Eddie talking (would have loved to hear Liz giving the hotel clerk his nervous breakdown also). Yes, please don't cut this report short..every little detail please. Imagine it took NYC a good week to recover from your visit!!

Chiming in here, to say keep it coming JJ! You had me with, "I am sure my knocking knees must have set off some sort of seismic counter at the Icelandic Geological Institute and it is quite possible that local emergency crews were put on standby at the prospect of what appeared to be an imminent earthquake." I hate the cold, but I may just visit Iceland having read your report!

Yet again thanks for your comments - they are very much appreciated.
Sorry for the delay but I'm afraid that I haven't been able to do any more work on my report. The first weekend of the month is always particularly busy as Liz insists upon me hand-polishing all of our cutlery, item by item. She says that she wants to be able to see her face in them although I don't see why she can't just go out & buy a mirror like everybody else.
Will try to get get back down to it today & re-post the final part of my report ASAP.

Hi all,
Just to say sorry again for the hold up. There has been quite a lot going on at home plus Liz has had a nasty dose of the 'flu so I haven't had much time on my hands. Thankfully she is on the mend now, however & so I promise to get things moving again.

Hope Liz is better. Any chance of a fodors reunion in Glasgow?
I can't be the only one who wants to meet Eddie & Big John!
And another thing, you're a fantastic writer, you should be sending this to the Herald.
Keep up the goog work
