We have a bit of a Cooks tour planned for the Summer, New York, San Francisco and Seattle . Three different cities – it will be interesting to see as a Brit how different they really are. We are also staying in three quite different accommodation. In New York at Morgans Hotel the original boutique designer hotel on Madison Avenue. In San Francisco a three star property popular with tourists close to Union Square and in Seattle at a 8 room Bed & Breakfast where breakfast is taken around a communal table. We think choosing these three quite different places to stay will automatically provide a different feel to each of these cities.

We will add some further thoughts about this adventure another time
