We arrived in San Diego very late last night, after an 11 hour flight from Heathrow. We are staying at the Intercontinental right on the sea front for two nights. This morning we visited the USS Midway located in the harbour in front of the hotel, an aircraft carrier from the second gulf war. We… Continue reading You Stay Classy, San Diego

Bye Bye America
We have travelled through 24 US states and 1 Canadian, stayed in 30 different beds and covered over 23,000 miles in the last 9 weeks (including UK flights). We have driven 5,000 miles in 6 different cars, rode 2,500 miles on 2 trains and flown 16,000 miles in 6 planes! No wonder we’re knackered :).… Continue reading Bye Bye America
Loop Complete
We flew from Washington’s Reagan airport this morning to Orlando where we started our adventure! The Reagan airport is actually in Virginia so that’s another state to cross off our list! We are flying back to Gatwick tomorrow so have booked a room in the Hyatt hotel within the airport terminal so we don’t have… Continue reading Loop Complete
Washington Segway Tour
We enjoyed the Segway tour in Chicago so much that we booked another one for Washington. The tour started at 10am and after a quick refresher we were soon wizzing round the streets again! We visited the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill. Luckily the weather was really nice again… Continue reading Washington Segway Tour
A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
We left New York this morning and drove 220 miles to Washington D.C passing through New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. It took most of the afternoon so we got to our hotel and went straight out for something to eat. After dinner we came back to the hotel bar, had a drink and went upstairs… Continue reading A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
Statue of Liberty
Today we wanted to see the sights of New York so started off on the ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island. The queues were huge because it is Saturday so we stayed on the boat to get photos rather than go onto Liberty Island. We arrived back in Manhattan and walked to the World… Continue reading Statue of Liberty
Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
We got up at 8am and watched the highlights of the Royal Wedding. Everyone has gone crazy for Prince William and Kate and apparently 2 billion people are tuning in to watch the event. We feel a bit home sick today because we know everyone at home is celebrating and the whole country will be… Continue reading Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
Driving in New York, ahhhh!
We got up this morning and got ready for zip lining, but then got a phone call to say it had been cancelled because thunder and lighting was on its way. We decided to get on the road since we were up so drove straight to New York City via Connecticut. As we got to… Continue reading Driving in New York, ahhhh!
In the middle of nowhere again
Today we drove for 8 hours from Niagara Falls to a tiny place called Shelburne Falls in Massechusets. We are zip lining in the next town tomorrow so needed a place to crash for a night. We are staying at a B&B called the Dancing Bear Guest House, it is really small and I think… Continue reading In the middle of nowhere again
Niagara Falls
Yesterday we drove from Cleveland to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and went through Pennsylvania and New York State on the way. We were quite tired so had some dinner at the restaurant next door and went to bed. We woke up this morning and took a trip to the hairdressers, my hair was… Continue reading Niagara Falls
