Hello everyone, hope you are all well! Alan has finally let me loose on a blog page!!!!!! We have been really busy since our last blog post and we are currently on an Amtrak train to LA. I'll just tell you a little bit about these trains as they are very different to the usual virgin trains. First of all the leg room and the size of the seats are enormous!!!Alan looks like the little man off Little Britain sitting on the big chair! (Write the theme tune , s...

Hi everyone...we're still alive!!!! When we posted last we were staying in an interesting hotel. It didn't appear to be the safest but we survived. I think we must have booked on the weekend of the Gangster Conference 2008. Barring that weekend we had a wonderful time in Austin.
