USA Road Trip!!!

So Nick caught you up to the end of California. And so off to Mexico we went. Yippee!!! We stepped out of the airport and were instantly hit by the heat… At 7:30pm! Our hotel was part of a 30km stretch of hotels. It made Vegas look silly! We stayed at the Riu Caribe, which …

So New Orleans was awesome but got a little out of hand. We went to Bourbon street on Sunday avi for lunch and got home at like 3am. Needless to say much alcohol was consumed! Stace and Benny, I had a moment of really missing you when they played some of our fave songs and …

Ok, so America is full of crazies. It’s actually quite disturbing to see how many people here have lost the plot. I think it’s because they grow up and expect so much that when they don’t get it they snap. We have encountered a guy who barked in his sleep, a woman who yelled random …

So it’s been a while since I last posted, but we’ve been busy busy busy. The short bus to Orlando turned out to be quite fun. We made friends with some people (“There are white people in Africa?!?!) and ignored the crazies (who were in abundance). Everyone here loves our accent, even if they don’t …

All the buildings are stunning and have these pretty wrought iron balconies with pot plants and flowers. The streets are lined with trees, a lot of which are starting to flower. The whole place is …

So the only bus to Charleston is at 4 tomorrow morning, so we are here in Raleigh, North Carolina for another night. Which turned out to be awesome!!! We found a way nicer motel, which is much cheaper (go figure!). Raleigh is pronounced, RAAA- lee, like when you go to the dr and say aaaaaaa, NOT like the …

So we made it to DC. But first let me catch you up on our last day in NY. We did the downtown tour which takes you to Macy’s (3 floors just for women’s shoes… Sigh!), the Empire State building, ground zero and the statue of liberty. By the end of the day my legs …

So my internal clock hates me… I keep trying to sleep when I shouldn’t and go sight seeing in the middle of the SA night. But let’s start at the beginning… The flight was loooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg!!!! Cattle class really does suck balls, although I felt slightly (very slightly) vindicated for about oh 30 seconds. When we were standing …
