Washington is so different from anywhere we’ve been. Even though it’s so business orientated it has such a laidback and relaxed feel around the place. No one is in a rush – very different to London! It’s cool that everything we want to see is in one area, but it’s a very huge area! We past time as the rain cleared up this morning by exploring the Smithsonian National History Museum. There were loads of interesting things to see from dinosaur skeletons to an exhibition about the Chilean mine rescue which had the real escape pod, equipment and letters. Luckily we walked through the insect section as they were about to feed a Mexican Fire legged spider. Although our skin crawled the whole way through it was crazy seeing it pounce on a live cricket. We ... read more

Miami Beach - the area was a lot less glamorous than Annie has expected but Scott thought it was a cool place. The beach itself was nice with loads of unique life guard huts and clean water. After our first dip in the Atlantic Ocean we strolled along the streets of shops and restaurants and grabbed some $2 tacos. We walked along the shore and took advantage of our last chance to sunbathe on this trip. We are afraid to tell you all that we have had a burger king every night since we got here because it is directly across the street :) Tonight Scotty went out with a bang by having a double cheese burger, a chicken sandwich, some chicken nuggets and some fries…Augustus the Great! This Burger King made for some very unique ... read more

Hi everyone! We’ve done nothing to report today just flown to Miami and stood in Immigrations line for 2 hours and finally reached the hotel at 6. We're heading to a baseball game tomorrow to watch the Miami Marlins which should be fun, we'll try our best to get on the big screen, lots of gurning for Scotty then! Peace out! x x x... read more

What a fantastic day we’ve had! We took an early ferry over to Isle Mujeres – The Island of Women, and spent the whole day there and it was blue skies all day! The dolphinarium is really big and there were about 15 dolphins altogether. Annie had never seen a dolphin until Orlando when there was one in an aquarium so she was like a kid in Disney Land, again! Breakfast and lunch was included which was a nice discovery! Our swim wasn’t until 12 so we used the infinity pool and sunbathed. Our dolphin was called Andromada and the encounter was amazing! We stroked him (he felt like a wetsuit), kissed him, shook his fins, played ball, splashed around with him and listened to him fart through his blow hole :) After seeing the trainer ... read more

It’s been a long day with two flights down to Cancun, Mechikkooo but well worth the wait! We arrived about six local time (we’re six hours behind you guys again). The first thing that was on our minds was getting out and having a good time, after all this was our vacation part of the trip so we plan on making the most of it. We headed out to a bar for some food which ended up being a club/bar so it was a bit crazy when we left with a huge queue outside waiting to get in. Along the strip there was a lion cub and a tiger cub that Annie immediately objected to and plans on calling the Mexican RSPCA as soon as she’s sober! There was also a snake which Scotty ran from ... read more
