2010 Catch Up #2: Seattle & Vegas

March 2010

Not my fault. I was lying in bed one night, possibly drunk, and I received an email informing me of a British Airways sale. It was always our intention to go over and see Stuart & Cazzie more than once and we decided instead of meeting them in Whistler again we’d go [...]

September keeps on going – Florida wrapped up & another Foden wedding!

One day I’ll be able to write a post without mentioning the word ‘America’ however this is not one of them and with Vegas around the corner it may be a while yet.

I left you with the Mobile post that was written a few days into Florida. I’m not going to bore you with [...]

Florida #2 – The Fun Continues!

Since the ‘Cheerio Dunc’ post it’s been a bit quiet on here. This is because the software I use to blog from my phone when abroad changed when I was away. It’s sorted now and this is the post I intended to upload nearly two weeks ago.

I’m getting all the pics of Stuoobs [...]

Cheerio Dunc!

I write to you from Florida! We have been here in our Villa in Kissimmee for one whole day so far but it feels like we’ve been around for a lot longer. Our flight was at 10.30am Saturday however we were not arriving at the airport in a fit state.

As you’ll know, Dunc and [...]

California (Post #2 of 3)

When I left you after Post #1 we were driving the 70 miles from San Francisco to Morgan Hill.

If only it was actually that simple. In order to drive we needed a couple of cars. Stuoobs & Paulie had checked this out and booked a couple of vehicles from the Hertz hire place over [...]

California (Post #1 of 3)

I last blogged on the London to San Francisco flight and was showing off the wonders of my phone as a blogging tool. The intention was to find some of California’s numerous wireless networks and post a blog every couple of days. Unfortunately, two days into the trip my phone screen smashed and here I [...]

Putting 2007 to Bed

It’s been a while since I blogged in LA. It’s not that I got fed up with it after LA – I was incapable of getting to a computer and boring you with the insignificant details of my life.

Was I incapable because there was no internet access where I was?

No.

Was it that [...]

The most disorganised place on Earth…

Seriously, how do people in LA function? It’s a brilliant place, it really is. It has everything here you could possibly want; imagine London but cleaner, with nice weather and a few beaches and you’ll be just about there. It has a flaw though, you know when you’ve done something and you go away for [...]

Would it be too predictable to call this post 'Aloha'?

We didn’t end up doing too much in Hawaii (with apostrophe “Hawai’i” or without? Please vote on the right) because we realised that this is the last of our beach destinations and with reports of snowstorms in New York we thought it would be best to make the most of it. The weather’s been pretty [...]

Welcome to America! The land of the free-ish.

Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage… or between 1933 and 1945 were you involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany?

This is the question that you are faced with on form I-94W, the form that you are obliged to fill in before entering [...]
