Chris: James, have you farted again? James: Yep, that's one of the occupation hazards when sitting behind me. Listening to Coldplay, ACDC and Mumford & Sons, we were on route by 9am heading in the wrong direction once more. Collectively, we decided to make a u-turn at the most convenient place; right next to an armadillo. Unfortunately, it was dead. Picture moment? Of course! This set the theme for the day... Just outside Oklahoma City we stopped at two l...

"I'm going to look that up when I get home: how to lick out a girl like John Snow." - Chris Christodoulou Today has been the most productive day by far; covering a decent amount of miles, eating some good grub and stopping off at multiple roadside attractions that really made the day. It didn't start so well as our sleep was disturb by ridiculous thunder and lightning - we did however, survive the night and weren't killed. Go us! We got up early and worked our w...

Pokemon Trainer: "Do you like Pokemon?" Marc Taylor: "No, no I don't." Nothing beats starting the day with a bowl of Lucky Charms in a polystyrene bowl.

It turns out we're not that great with directions and managed to get ourselves lost on several occasions. Heading out at 10:30am, we didn't start the journey from its original starting point for nearly two hours. We eventually cracked on and Route 66 had begun... James t...

"How are we going to find our way across America, when we can't find our way out of the airport?" - James Jacobs After what can only be described as a ridiculously early start, we were disappointed with the knowledge of our flight being delayed by 4 hours. There's only one thing to do when this sort of information is handed to you upon arrival - head to the pub for a full english and a cheeky pint! Naturally, Chris slept from the moment we settled in the depart...
