Hi folks, looking out of the window there's snow on the ground and a heavy fog descending, whilst laid out on my bed I have my swimsuits, dresses and summer gear awaiting to be packed! Can't quite believe we will be leaving for our next big adventure tomorrow, doesn't feel real, and I know we'll be sad when saying goodbye, but then I know you'll all still be here when we return (you better be)! Anyway, this is our official blog (as before) so will keep in touch through this and on facebook, we'll do our best to keep you entertained and informed with short and sweet entries detailing our adventures - try not to get too envious - it's hard to keep up this lifestyle living out of a suitcase and always being on the ... read more

Hi Y'all This is it, our final travel blog! On the bus to catch the Greyhound from Seattle to Canada we came across some young girls from London who were attempting the reversal of what we were doing (West to East Coast) in a shorter time. So we passed on our bountiful travel knowledge to them and wished them luck. Crossing the border to Canada was a much more pleasant experience than when we first arrived in Boston all those months ago. We chatted and joked with the border officer whose main concern was that we had only given Canada a month but the US six! Arriving in Vancouver with the majestic mountains in the background I took off in search of some cash, as we only had US dollars, leaving F behind again with the ... read more

Hi All. Here goes another long one. You have been warned! As you approach Las Vegas you can almost smell the sin in the air - not for nothing is this place known for extreme enjoyment and shattered dreams. You see the giant hotel blocks rising out of the desert valley as you make your way down from the mountains that surround this oasis of sin. Picking up our visiting traveler (F's friend Nicola from back home) we drove from the airport onto The Strip. These are the iconic hotels that you hear about in Vegas, Luxor, New York-New York, Ceasar's Palace and the oppulent Bellagio with it's famous fountains outside (more about them later). It took forever to drive the length of the Strip, the traffic made worse by Nascar racing being in town that ... read more

F - Howdy all, hope you're coping and surviving with the snow and floods back home, sounds like a blast! M - It was a shame to leave Austin and Fiona's family. They were so nice to us that we wished we could have stayed longer, so thank you again Mark, Peter, Laura and co for a great time. But we couldn't leave Texas without one last great memory - a run in with the local constabulary. Yes ladies and gentlemen she had to do it. Not content with travelling at the speed limit of 80 mph, F was doing considerably more than that when she looked up and saw those flashing lights in the mirror. Her first response was to turn to me and ask 'Do you think that's for me?' Bearing in mind that ... read more

I started this post just over a week ago when we were still in Mississippi but only had the chance to finish and publish it now that we're in Austin, Texas. Howdy ya'll, it's been a while since our last post because we have been busy exploring Florida and cruising from one state to the next taking in civil rights, civil wars and several chain motels! M has done lots and lots of driving (and moaning about doing so - F. Like she never does! - M) and to make you all feel better, it's colder now that we've left south Florida and it's back to wearing my cardi and PJ's in bed (yes I know we're mad to leave the sunshine of Miami but we were bored of beaches!). After leaving Miami we headed further ... read more
