Hey again guys.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you for the in-depth guidance. I was pretty nervous on the way there, but really it is pretty simple and the connecting flights went like clockwork. Its done my confidence a whole lot of good which is one of the reasons I wanted to go on my own. Also thank you for telling me about the frequent flyer programme - I am now earning miles and im planning more trips in the future, sticking to the airlines in the Star Alliance.

As for America, it was amazing. Much better than I anticipated (and I was REALLY expecting a lot, so I was surprised it surpassed my expectations). Im already planning to visit again in a few months.
