Matts appointment is today at 3pm so we lay in and head out around 11am stopping on route at dunkin donuts to see what the fuss is about. Well.... they were rotten - really stale and not doughy enough in Matts words "not a patch on asda". We arrive to the medial centre an hour early and luckily enough they see him earlier, he's in and out in no time we get a cd copy of the images and the report and the CT will be emailed to the surgeon asap. We're delighted! Th...

We get up around 10am and dress smart with a plan to head off for the day in a hired car to Key West. It's like the American Caribbean, supposedly its really similar and also the most southerly point of the U.S. We hire a car through Sixt rentals for two days costing around £80 including full coverage and set off on a 4-hour drive to Key West. Jacqs snoozing but wakes for the tail end of the drive which is a very pretty one. We hit the keys around 1pm, it's go...

Woke up this morning to our roommate Mark from Germany's rear end - yep he parades around naked so Matts quick to ask him to put pants on out of respect for his wife - he apologises - he's leaving today, thankfully. We are waiting today to hear about matts CT scan so can't really make plans - brekkie is late and our milk was nicked… bloody hostels! We don't wanna go too far in case they ring with an appointment so hang around the hostel most of the day until ...

The heat today is unreal!!!!!! We decide on a pool day it's 100 Fahrenheit and too hot to walk anywhere! So, Matt's bronzing but Jacq who is normally good with heat, just cannot stick it and spends the day researching Seattle. After 3 hours Matt is no longer brown, he's wooden - it's unreal, he has never been so... gravy like. Jacqs found our next place to stay in Seattle via Airbnb which is great as it's a private room with a free airport pickup. We grab some ...

Today's the day! We fetch our statement - not too bad for a week's debauchery, and grab some brekkie before disembarking to grab an Uber cab to our hostel The Tropics on Collins ave - devastated to discover we can't check in until 3pm it's 10am and we're wrecked. Thankfully there's a pool so Matt sunbathes and Jacq snoozes on a chair indoors. Its so hot, warmer than the cruise! When we get to the room it's two sets of bunk beds, a mixed dorm with 3 boys and Jac...
