Double, double, toil and trouble So, what have we been up to in Boston? Yesterday, we walked some of the freedom trail with a guide starting from Boston Common. It was interesting, learning about all of the main protagonists of the American Revolution - Samuel Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere etc and the truth behind the Boston "massacre". Our guide, Brian, was very funny and really knew his stuff. At one point he stopped outside a bar, opposite a cemetery and sa...

"Taxation without representation is tyranny" - Impressions of Boston Here we are on the final leg of our journey and it's bloody freezing! What nutjob thought it would be a good idea to end our sojourn here rather than Miami?! Well, it was me actually - the theory being that it is the closest major US city to the UK and hence the shortest flight home.

$50 bill! $50 bill! Who likes the Goonies?! Anyway, greetings from Waikiki beach in Hawaii, where my tan is coming along nicely. We have enjoyed a rather splendid few days exploring Honolulu, relaxing on the beach, deepening our love for one another, shopping and well, duetting on "Everyday People" by Arrested Development - as you do. We climbed Diamond Head on Wednesday which affords panoramic views of Waikiki. It was about a mile and a half walk up and at th...
