If you'd noticed my limited visibility during recent weeks and wondered where I was, then wonder no more. We've just returned from a rather extensive holiday roaming around in the New World. We were away for around three weeks, which broke down into several contiguous mini-holidays based around different exciting locations.

I will probably write up these stops individually , and I have hundereds of photos to sort through and post, but here's the five-minute overview.

We kicked off in Toronto, with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Lyle, the original impetus for the whole trip. We then travelled by rail to Niagara falls, spending a couple of nights there with a rather classy view of the falls. From there we continued by rail to New York city, spending the best part of a week staying just off Times Square, and doing our best to participate in the Manhattan skyline with a vertigo-bothering 50th floor room.

   

As our time in NYC grew to a close we picked up some wedding rings, at Tiffany & Co. on 5th Ave. and flew to Vegas, where we were married ourselves, in the famous Little White Chapel, in the truest Las-Vegas walk-in style. After a couple more days 'relaxing' in the lysergic shopping-mall-in-the-middle-of-a-freaking-desert that is Vegas we jumped on a plane back to Toronto, for an evening of joint congratulations with the newly-married Lyles, and then flew back to the U.K.

Married. In Vegas. This is how you holiday with style.
