UPS, Lack of Legroom and blistering heat

---

Well well well. 3 deep holes! Not so funny to begin with but Tuesday of this week felt like all we were in was deep holes! What started as a cheeky conversation about the whereabouts of Shanny's passport, swiftly turned into a gut jolting realisation that she had couriered said document to Sydney via UPS Express Delivery.....no joke.....imminent departure was two days away.....

So T minus zero days and Steve is on the flight to Miami on his tod, waving bye bye to Shanny at the door just before 6:00am this morning (she follows next week - direct to Rio where the real adventure begins)

Moving swiftly on to: the complete lack of legroom on BA flights....I currently still have a dead right shin (DVT beckons) and this is four hours after landing. Aspirin anyone?

So, the damp and humid London summer does not adequately prepare a pasty Kiwi lad for the oven baked streets of South Beach Miami. I am however going to strike out to look for some particularly compelling DNA evidence and see if my ginger sideburns can convince people that I am "Son of Horatio" from CSI: Miami.

More to follow...
