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!

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
Cleveland Stop
We picked up our beast of a car to take us from Chicago to Washington. We spent the whole day driving the 350 miles and have just checked into our hotel for the night. We are now on our way to Niagara Falls in Canada so have stopped off at Cleveland as it is about… Continue reading Cleveland Stop
Segway Tour through Chicago
We wanted to get a good look around Chicago so we booked a segway tour for this morning. I had never been on a Segway before so was a bit scared but it was great fun and I’m very glad we did it. You use your body weight to control the motor, leaning slightly forward… Continue reading Segway Tour through Chicago
Last Stop Chicago
I woke up this morning at 6am and had a very strong feeling that I wanted to get off the train! We had been on for 43 hours and I really wanted to stand in a room wider that 1m. We finally arrived in Chicago at 3pm, collected our luggage and jumped in a taxi… Continue reading Last Stop Chicago

Two Days Off
After a very hectic schedule on the cruise ship, we decided it was about time we had a few days off! So yesterday we checked into our new hotel on Waikiki Beach and did very little; we went swimming, ate and slept, and that’s about it, we didn’t even take any photo’s! Today we went… Continue reading Two Days Off
Pride of America Cruise Ship
We checked out of our hotel this morning and took a short taxi ride to Honolulu’s port to board our cruise ship; NCL’s Pride of America. The ship is pretty big (holds 2,146 passengers) but not quite as big as the one we went on for our honeymoon (NCL Jade). The ship wasn’t due to… Continue reading Pride of America Cruise Ship
Diamond Head Crater
Diamond Head Crater is a volcanic crater that was created around 150,000 years ago. It sits on the edge of Honolulu, right next to Waikiki beach. Since the base was just 10 minutes by bus from our hotel, we decided to take an early morning hike up to the top. We left about 8:45 and… Continue reading Diamond Head Crater
