Heavenly posting

This post comes from atop a "Heavenly" bed in the Westin in Pittsburgh. It is a seriously comfortable perch. Have spent the last week in New York (and now briefly, Pittsburgh).  Accomplishments this week:
Continuing success in Project365: fave pic of the week:
N for New York added to the A-Z travel list. I'm quite put out that Pittsburgh begins with P and I've already been to Paris... hmph. But for now, in this role as a Lady of Leisure, I shall happily go where my man's meetings happen to be. I've set up a Flick set to track progress of this goal and done some internet browsing into RTW airfares to potentially hit up some more locations. I also revisted an old favourite site, Seat61, to check out options for task #1 - retracing the Orient Express route across Europe - I might now have a little more time to follow through on that one.
I reviewed my first hotel on TripAdvisor, the Covent Garden Hotel in London, which I loved. I'll update with a link when the review gets posted.
Another one of the 'new' tasks, I tried to extend a loan on kiva, but had issues with my Aussie credit card, so will set up a paypal account and try again.
I finished another book - The Trout Opera - which brings me to 41 out of 50; blogged on my Big Issue acquisition for task #67; and donated a few more grains of rice.
I found out that 101in1001.com.au was available, so I grabbed it and re-hosted the blog here. Hopefully all the redirects are working!
Have another week in New York ahead and will spend some time coming up with the last few new tasks that I left free at the half-time update.  
A bientot...

Ah Pittsburgh! That's where I spent a good 12 months of my life there as an exchange student! Make sure you go see the Andy Warhol museum if you've got time. And if, it's still there - go to the BIG O in Oakland. You get the biggest serving of fries in the whole of the city!

Oh wow - I totally forgot you were here back then - off to the Warhol museum now!
