1st leglee and vickySo its drawing close so i thought i'd better start writing our bloggs just to let everyone know whats going on and what our plans are so far and i guess say hello to all those people out there who dont actually know us. So we leave this life of 6 day working weeks and parking fines, rent days, fast food blah blah blah........ in a little under two weeks. Our first destination is Ecuador and the first city is Quito, we have our airport transfer aranged and the hostel booked (the secret garden).

The course consists of 20hrs classroom spanish and afternoon excursions over the course ... read more

Hey guys, This is my first post on here. So I arrived in England last Sunday! The plane ride was interesting. Sonia & I left Logan Airport around 9pm on Saturday night.

Either way, I am in one piece. ii) I did meet some tribal type people in the Amazon but did not indulge in any pot. iii) (Alas?) despite some pretty special salsa moves and a night of dancing through to dawn, I am not even close to being married to a local bar girl ... read more

My last night in Reading for the next few months, and with Edinburgh beckoning in September, one of my last nights as a resident of this fair town... ever? (never say ever...) What better way to celebrate this, and my friend Matt's birthday, than a curry with the lads (and lass) and some quality television. This time tomorrow I shall be hovering over Washington. Take care of England while I'm away, and in return I'll try and I'll take care of America. Tim x... read more
