Things To Do While Away...

Hello Again Guys!

As you are aware I'm going away to the USA, France and Spain leaving in March.  As you are also aware I have a nasty back issue and this is probably the last chance to do some interesting stuff before it becomes too much.  I want your opinions!  So far the following has been suggested to me:

USA - New York

Empire State Building
Shop til you drop
Walk around and get pissed with the locals - shoot the shit basically
Take a Broadway show dressed like James Bond
Take the train to Washington

USA - Washington DC

Museums
Take in a session at the House of Representatives
Walk around and get pissed with the locals
Take the train to Chicago

USA - Chicago

Take the view from one of the many skyscrapers with lunch of course
Walk around and get pissed with the locals
Get picked up by friends then relax for a few days

USA - New Orleans

See if I can play with one of the local bands - for those of you who don't know I can play the drums (badly!)
Guess what?  Walk around and get pissed with the locals!

Enjoy the food and laid back lifestyle/culture.
