Am I dreaming?

Today I got a jolt back to reality, I have just realised that it is tomorrow that I pick up the 'Speecheasy' device.  Time is passing really quickly I didn't realise it was so soon!  It doesn't seem real in many ways.   

Every day I have to pinch myself that I am here in New York.  I feel like I  am constantly on a movie set!  The views are spectacular.  There are so many buildings and streets that I have seen a million times before at the cinema or on the TV, it all feels so familiar - 42nd St, 5th Avenue, Empire State, The Flatiron Building.  Today I went to the Statue of Liberty!  It was amazing to see in the flesh.  Tomorrow morning before my appointment at 1pm I am going up the Empire State Building!  I don't know whether I will actually be able to comcentrate on the views of this amazing city as I think my mind will be too focused on the fitting of the device.

Hope you are taking notes of all the sights and sounds, there will be a written test when you get back! Seriously I will say a little prayer for you at about 1.00pm your time.

It has been very quiet in the office so come back and brighten it.
