Excellent!
Great TR! I really enjoy your photos. I can tell that the hotels that you're staying in are mostly for work (they're the ones that I stay in also for work!). For leisurely travel, it seems that there are other "types" or "styles" of hotel. Great report!

Thanks.
You are correct about hotel choices.
I stayed at the Andaz in London just recently. I would definitely stay there for leisure travels. Hopefully, the photos from my Andaz-London stay will make it to my one of my upcoming trip reports. It is a fantastic property.
Also tried Andaz on 5th Ave and 41st in NY, another great property for leisure travel. Took tons of photos but cannot find an angle to include in my trip reports yet!.

London 1 of 2
By the time I got to London, I was feeling a little under the weather. I didn't if it was the Hurricane Irene weather effect or the let down feeling from the hurricane caused me to feel tired. I had difficulties dragging my feet out of the hotel room to the meeting place and did not spend too much time walking around London (my favorite city for sentimental reasons). After all, I do consider my This is London Photo Trip Report the most enjoyable report I have done in this forum. Unfortunately, I was just not motivated and in the end I was indeed under the weather. Not a good sign considering I still had to go to Australia and Singapore.

Sick and Tired!
I did catch a cold from Hurricane Irene back in NYC, and it got worse in London. By the time I reached Frankfurt, I was struggling. The SQ flight was late coming in and the flight was delayed by about an hour. I was restless in the Senator's lounge from the cold medicine. When it was time to board at 11 pm at night. I was also dead tired.
After dinner, I took a couple of Advil and slept most of the flight except for a midnight snack of noodle soup to get more fluid in my body. No movie, no wondering around the cabin....just hoping that my cold got better before I reach Brisbane.
