If anyone is thinking of visiting New York but is feeling apprehensive because of September 11, don't be.

I and four friends have just had an absolutely fabulous five days there.

Everyone was so welcoming and caring and at our hotel was a letter from Rudolph W Giuliani, the mayor of New York, thanking us for our visit.

Life is too short to let terrorism ruin it.
