So here we are, 2004 comes kicking and screaming to a conclusion, and in retrospect it’s been a fun up and down year, I’ll try to encapsulate it as much as possible by going over the positive and hiding the negative…

Favourite Place Visited in 2004

Since I only visited Portland, Oregon, I guess that wins by default…

Favourite Plane Flight of 2004

Plenty to choose from, but prolly my first flight from Glasgow to Newark in January was my favourite, mainly because Continental have great planes, great staff, great food and great legroom, plus I breezed through US Immigration like it was nothing at all. How things would change…

Favourite Event of 2004

Game 7 of the NLDS at Turner Field. A terrific game (even if the Braves lost) and a great atmosphere as the ballpark was packed to the rafters.

Ummm, I’m fast running out of favourite things now… So I guess I’ll leave it at that
