Cooked eggs on toast on our portable gas stove top.....loving it. Showered and left the campsite at 11am. Drove to the Key West harbour and watched the huge cruise ships. Enjoyed the best ice cream and waffle cone I've had in a long time from Polar Bears ice creamery. Sam had cookie dough and I had honeycomb swirl in thick handmade waffle cones. As it's so close to Cuba, there is a lot of Cuban stores especially Cuban cigar stores. There are also a lot of sto...

Woke up during the night boiling and discovered that the hostel had turned the heat on full. Jumped down to the bottom bunk and took off a layer of clothing. Woke up to a white out. Knew immediately that it wasn't likely that we would be flying anywhere today. Checked online and sure enough, our flight had been cancelled. Sat on hold to American Airlines for 20 minutes and was told that the flight was operated by US Airlines and they would connect me to t...

This part of the city is a total contrast to the suburb we are staying in. It's clean and full of tourists, this is the area they want you to see. The White House is an experience and I overhear a man telling his kids, "This is the White House, well it's the Whit...

Got a taxi from our hostel to the bus stop this morning with all our gear to avoid peak hour on the subway. I attempted to get in the taxi driver's seat instead of the passenger seat. Also still getting used to walking on the right-hand side of the sidewalk and stairs and doors that open on the opposite side. Took a 4-hour bus ride from NYC to Washington DC. Carted our gear to our hostel. I want to throw away some stuff to make my suitcase lighter! On the wal...
