Howdi from Dodge City. We arrived at 7am on the Amtrack train. It was pitch black and we didnt know where to go, being in such a small town there were no taxis waiting train arrivals outside! The old boy station master took us to our hotel and so all was well. Dodge City. for those who dont know it is a historic town known for its cowboy heritige and lawless gun fights. There is the Boot Hill museum which has been restored to how the old town used to look with...

We arrived in Kansas City by Amtrak train which was a lot better than the Greyhound bus. We had reclining seats and a lot of leg room. As we were going to the Worlds of Fun theme park we decided to stay close to it. However, this was a mistake as we were too far away from downtown and taxis were costing at least 15 pounds each way so we spent two days at Worlds of Fun (which we walked to). It was a really cool park and had rides equivilant too Nemisis, The Big O...

We were convinced he didnt know where he was going right up until the hotel was in view. When we did eventually arrive I (Andy) then had to show him h...

Hey everyone! Well here is our blog from New York. We have had 6 very full days. We have done the Rockefella Centre, which is a great view of New York, we walked through a small part of central Park, (didn't realize how big central park actually is!!) we saw the John Lennon memorial and where he was shot. It is so big we ended up getting lost and walking back on ourselves, we entered on the West side and left on the East side! We did the NBC tour, it was int...
