I remember it was 2003 and we stumbled across a Halloween parade which I think was the second night so we must have flown out on the 30th Oct and stayed for 5 nights.  I found it much cleaner, tidier and better organised everywhere compared to London.

We flew in late September/early October 2003 and were there for 5 nights.  We flew on one of the last scheduled Concorde flights.  We went back in 2005.

I have been three times. First was in 1998 and most recent was last year.

I regret not going inside the twin towers.

If I ever went, I'd try and find out where Joe & Mary's was.

I went to Ground Zero.  I have to say it was quite an experience.

Think Trump feels betrayed by America's Supreme Court. Espescially as some of them he appointed himself.

Is now looking for revenge to cause as much damage as possible. The war in Iran is a good start.

Is not concerned about his fanbase. Some will stick with him but he is not running for re election.

Don't know how Iran were an 'imminent threat' to America. 

Trump said America had obliterated Irans nuclear programme a few months ago. If they had not, no reason why Iran would bomb America.

They killed one Supreme Leader. He was just replaced by his son. Regime change not possible without boots on the ground.

Iran is a proud country of 90 million + people. They are not going to just give in to enemies Israel even if America are involved. So optimistic to expect the war to be over in a few days.

Hegseth is saying he going to ask Congress for 200 billion. Maybe they think it will be a continuous war to stop Iran starting again with a nuclear programme.

Do you think he might be succession planning for one of his children and/or spouses?

My best friend's dad was part of the crew on BA's maiden Concorde flight.  So I know someone on the first flight and someone on one of the last  8)

I found it eerie and really dramatic when on the boat looking at the empty space knowing what was there.

There is no proof their new supreme leader is alive and well. There is probably an Interim leadership council running the country at the moment.

No wonder it was scrapped. Only you and Joan Collins could afford to fly on it.
