New Year

So, I took off the week of New Year's with the hope of being able to do something relatively original and fun to counter the New Year's I had last year, which was anticlimactic * to say the least. No final plans have been made, though, and time is pacing on.
I already did the New Years in Times Square thing. It was unbelievably cold, and my God were there a lot of people. Also, the place cleared out incredibly fast, with a huge mess left behind. It was a fun thing...to do once.
Another idea I had was London. Years ago, I saw an amazing winter fare to London from one of the NYC airports, and my then roommate and I were about this close to hopping on a plane on short notice. I'm not quite sure why we didn't go.
Well, I'm seeing those fares again...while the weather might be absolutely piss-horrible, that's why they call it the off season. Regardless, it's still the same old London, right? All the monuments and tourist attractions haven't been taken down and moved to a self-storage place somewhere...
I'd just have to wear coats. I have several.
Anyway, it's an idea, and I'm still trying to think of others. At any rate, I want to start this next year off well.

* (I would consider falling asleep at 11 on an air mattress in my brother's parents-in-law's study to be anticlimactic.)
