We arrived in New York quite late in the evening, the bus journey whilst again not ideal, was much better than when we travelled with Greyhound. If anyone travels around America by bus, go with Megabus, much nicer and they have free wifi which is always a bonus! So we arrived in New York and hailed a cab to take us to our hotel, this in itself was an 'experience' shall we say. We stopped a cab only for him to shout at us that we were being too slow loading our ba...

We landed in Toronto in the evening and hopped on a shuttle bus to our hotel, we definately felt the change in the weather! We got to our hotel, which was really nice, and grabbed a sandwich from over the road before going to bed, both really tired - travelling does really take it out of you!We were staying in the Financial District and were really close to the Eaton Centre, which is a like a shopping centre. It was about a ten minute walk away but that can feel ...

We really loved our hotel, it was by far the best room we'd stayed in and it was huge. The casino downstairs was also big and there ...

We booked an Alcatraz island trip as that was one of the main reasons we wanted to come here and w...

Our second week in LA wasn't as jammed packed as our first, it was nice to have the time to just chill and people watch. People watching in Hollywood is like nowhere else in the world! We were staying in a really good location was good to be able to walk right along Hollywood Boulevard and have a look around a few shops of course! There were two days of heavy rain, which we were told was really unusual for LA and it was on the news they were concerned about mud s...
