The main reason for our trip to New York was to see the North American premiere of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and celebrate the fact that Sean had directed a part of the movie. Woot!
We took a leap of faith to jet to New York and had hoped that tickets wouldn’t be sold out since the theatre would not sell advance tickets. We didn’t know what to expect, I mean it is New York and there must have tons of Final Fantasy fans there. Plus the movie was in extremely limited release.

The one thing that Sean wanted to get out of this trip was the be at the Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV world premiere. As for me, I really wanted to participate in the Sleep No More immersive theatre experience at the McKittrick Hotel. Anything else was gravy for both of us.

Ok, so I just came back from a trip to London and Berlin, but a quick trip to New York was very much in order. Sean had worked on the Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV movie and it was having its world premiere on August 19.
Since we missed the premiere in Tokyo due to it not being announced, we chose to be in New York for the limited theatrical release. There were only a handful of other US screenings (no Vancouver), and for sentimental reasons plus the fact that we love new York, Sean wanted to walk out into the big lights, bright city that is Times Square after the screening.

That’s some serious altocumulus action.
Coming home via West Coast Express and I get off to see this at the station. An otherworldly display of clouds. This kind of cloud cover never happens here. And yes, it was as hot as it looks in this picture.

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.
A city of contrasts – steeped in history and yet oh, so modern, I thoroughly enjoyed Berlin. The culturally diverse and cosmopolitan city has the most impressive monuments, and yet surprisingly, also lots of green space. In fact, there are 2,500 public parks and gardens in Berlin!
