High lights and low lights

What were the most memorable parts of this trip?

• Seeing Don Giovanni at the Met in New York.
• Hearing the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall.
• Seeing Manhattan Island from the upper deck of the Queen Mary II. 
• Doing a "Behind the scenes" tour on the Queen Mary II. 
• Playing duplicate bridge every day on the QMII
• Attending the Canterbury Choral Society concert in the nave of Canterbury Cathedral. 
• Spending time with three nephews and nieces and meeting up with four nephews and nieces. 
• Attending other talks and concerts as part of the Canterbury Festival.
• Meeting up with brother law Nick and his wife Sue for lunch.
• A performance of Les Miserables.

Were there any low lights?

• Elevator not working at the Reform Club and no food available on a Sunday evening. 
• It seems increasingly hard work to lug around ones carry on suitcase and backpack! Therefore I tended to take taxis or Uber rather than the Underground in London.
