Come on Irene!

Aug. 28th | Posted by Laura 4 comments

It’s 9am and I’ve been up for exactly an hour. 8am was when the Hurricane was meant to be hitting New York, so my body clock must be extremely accurate. I’ve checked the news and looked out the window. So far, it all seems ok. Firstly, you should all know that all of the reports [...]

Hurricane Irene: Our survival plan.

So Irene is still on course to hit New York on the same day we arrive, but there is no need to worry because we have a plan! We’re heading into NYC in the very early morning and have booked ourselves in a very central hotel (near Times Sq) on the lower floors. We will [...]

So the East Coast is interesting… We have had a brilliant few days in Orlando and a fab two days in Miami – which we will update you on in the next few days – but we thought it would be worthwhile letting you know that we are ok, despite two rather large natural disasters [...]

To fringe or not to fringe?

While shopping in Miami I bought a clip on fringe. I thought I’d wear it out tonight…

This is just how we roll on a Tuesday afternoon…

The Heartbreak Kid of Lynchburg, Tennessee

Today was a good one. We woke up in another random motel that I can’t quite remember (because they’re all blurring together – 2 beds, 1 window, perhaps a cheeky fridge) and headed away from the legendary Nashville, towards the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Considering my near weekly investment in their fine product, I expected a [...]

Days 22-24: Jumbo Gumbo in New Orleans

Aug. 15th | Posted by Faye 3 comments

“America’s Most Interesting City!” It’s a bold claim but the welcome signs at the city limits kid you not – New Orleans really is a fascinating place to visit. Highlights included: Staying in the beautiful Lanaux Mansion (the setting for the film “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button”) and meeting the lovely owner Ruth. Seeing [...]

The Curious Case of Bed & Breakfast

This is where we are staying in New Orleans. Rumour has it is that it is haunted by the ghost of a man in a tophat. How dapper! It is also used in the Curious Case of Benjamin Button for some scenes.

Boardwalk Bullet wooden coaster

Epically fast ride on the boardwalk at Kemah, Texas. Faye did the sensible thing and stayed in Starbucks while we went in the front seats! Oh yeah!

Day 21: Houston, we have a problem… Loads of traffic!

Aug. 11th | Posted by Laura 1 comments

We woke up in our lovely hotel in San Antonio full of pizza but excited for our first free hot breakfast. There were limited veggie options but the waffle maker was a bit of a novel gadget. We hopped on the free shuttlebus to the San Antonio Riverwalk where we did a touristy thing of [...]
