Tom, when I was in college there was a recession on and various airlines were doing special deals to fill up flights. I was on my way home from college one afternoon and saw a sign that said LAST MINUTE DEALS ON FLIGHTS TO USA. I went in and asked what the cheapest return was to NY. The woman said "Well, the cheapest one is leaving in four hours from Heathrow but obviously that's no good" I took it, left the travel agent, ran home to get my passport, got straight back on the underground to Heathrow, got there with minutes to spare before check-in closed, got on the plane and landed at Newark in a thin cotton teeshirt, thin trousers and espadrils, no socks. NY was about four feet deep in snow. I had the best THE BEST EVER week of my life that week.
If you can afford it, do it Tom. Take a camera, a sketchpad, and lots of chutzpah.
