Welcome to the UK!!

My wife (girlfriend back then) and I had been living together in NYC before we came over to the UK, and we spent our last three nights in the city eating at our favorite restaurants in our neighborhood. As we were walking into the last one (a little French place) we were laughing about something, and the host exclaimed, "You look so happy, I am going to buy you a bottle of wine!"
When he came over to the table with our free bottle of wine (yay!), he asked what we were celebrating. I explained that this was our last night in NY, and we'd saved this restaurant for our final meal. For a moment I thought he might cry, and then he composed himself and told us he was comping our dessert, too.

The next day we set off on our North American Farewell Tour, taking in Washington, DC, Memphis, Fayetteville (AR), and finally Austin, Texas, where I dumped most of my worldly possessions at my parents' house before flying over to the UK. I don't remember doing anything particularly special on the very last night, but it was an eventful week.
