Hi Ann,

Thanks for your email. I had a brilliant birthday party with friends, and I’m still buzzing from the celebrations. I was lucky with gifts: a new camera, a few novels, and a gift card to my favourite bookstore. I can’t wait to try the camera on our next adventures. You’re going to New York next week. Exciting! Do you have a busy itinerary or any must-see spots? I’d love some tips. Have a fantastic trip, and I can’t wait to hear all about it. Write soon and tell me everything. Sending you a big hug. Best wishes, Alex
