THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN NEW YORK TO START A GLOBETROTTER'S BLOG, EVEN IF YOU GET THERE VIA SWITZERLAND
From February 1990 onwards I started flying very often to New York, mainly due to my professional involvement in the successful recovery of roughly 8.9 tonnes of gold deposited with a famous American financial institution that went bankrupt by that time.
This post covers the period from January through April 1990. During these months I flew once to Geneva, once to Washington D.C., and three times to New York. There are no photos from the February trip to New York, as meetings started immediately after arrival, at 6.00 p.m. on the first day, continued on the second day from 7:00 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., and ended at 4:00 p.m. on the last day, just before heading to JFK to fly back to Lisbon. There are also no photos from the first April trip to New York, with a similar schedule, as well as from the trip to D.C. Finally, in late April, Guida joined me and we had some free time, as one can see from the photos posted.
Just before heading to Montreal in May 1990, which will be the subject of the next post, I flew to Brussels and Madrid. There is also no photo trace of such trips...
