WOW – some hard questions to answer I guess.

Best US experience this trip -  would have to have been sharing the emotion with my daughter at the 911 site in NYC, it is truly a moment and memory that will stay with both of us forever. I don’t want to sound like a sook on this point but it was the most human part of our trip and to be standing in place where 3000 people died in awful circumstances and reading their stories , seeing their faces and their families notes WHILST standing there with your own child and seeing her upset by it all is a tough moment to forget. Of course I will always recall being in places with her like The Empire State Building and other landmarks etc BUT they did not provide the ‘feeling’ that we both shared when we were at 911/ Ground Zero.

Best Pinball Moment – I reckon that enjoying the company of 80++ SO-CAL pinballers at the ‘mansion’ , actually chatting with them , laughing and sharing pinball stories and teaching them some Aussie slang on the night would be the best ‘pinball moment’ overall. There are some GREAT guys in LA who know a hell of a lot about pinball and how to play it, I was disappointed we didn’t have another few hours to get around to them all.

Most Enjoyable Pinball on the trip  - VERY hard to say as we had access to play around 700+ titles........the most memorable game is going to be Wizard Blocks of course, but the most ENJOYABLE game to play that we don’t get to play out here was KINGPIN, I actually got to spend a fair amount of time on it this trip and really got to like this EXTREMELY flowy game.


700 titles. Your arms must have been very painful  %.%

Looking at the pics, I'd say the MSG and Ground Zero visits would have been very worthwhile, but the pinball scene in LA would have been very hard to beat. Of course the time with your Daughter would be a highlight as well  ^^^
