So, as you may have guessed I bought an iPad. We went into this giant electronics store today called a Best Buy. It’s literally like the Buy More in Chuck, it even has a Geek Squad to fix your PC. So while we were there we had a look at a few other options, like …

Rocking Raleigh!!!
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 …

Heading South
So Washington was really nice with lots of things to see and do. Amazingly enough most of it is free too which is so different to New York where they actually sell air. The hotels however are really expensive so we just stayed one night and came down to North Carolina. We had a very …

To DC and beyond!
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 …

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 …

We have arrived
Ok, so the title is a little slow, but so are we it seems. For the country that has supposedly got the best connectivity in the world, they charge a fortune for internet access… to foreigners. If you use it in the hotel its $1 for 5 whole minutes. However we now have a T-Mobile …

The excitement is killiing me… seriously!
Yay, so like 23 1/2 hours til our plane leaves! Judging by Nick’s obsession with this site (already I tell you), you’re going to have plenty to see! Anywho won’t bore you with mundane details of our Friday evening, just wanted to get on the record that the Walmart pictures were my brilliant idea, and …

Were outta here!
So its almost time for us to leave. We wont be travelling on an Airbus A380 like Jen and Jonty and after confirming our tickets the minute they opened (somehow the whole plane was already booked) it looks like we wont be on an empty plane either. Hopefully we will still have a bit of …
