April 12–27, 2019

Our U.S. journey began in New York City, where every block offered a different visual rhythm. The Empire State Building, the High Line, and the neon lights of Times Square all showcased the city’s unmatched energy. From subway motion to Coney Island’s vintage charm, the mix of architecture, people, and color created a photographer’s playground.

Heading south, we explored Orlando and the Kennedy Space Center, where rockets and history met under a deep blue Florida sky — a highlight for any technology enthusiast. Further along, we drove through the Florida Keys, spotting alligators in the wetlands and endless ocean views along the Overseas Highway.

Our final stop was Miami Beach, where Art Deco architecture, turquoise water, and an amazing beachfront hotel set the tone for a perfect ending. The warm light, vibrant streets, and relaxed rhythm made it the ideal contrast to New York’s intensity. We returned home comfortably in United Business Class, grateful for a trip full of light, architecture, and adventure.
