We arrived in Philadelphia Thursday 17th March in the afternoon about 3.30pm after a painless megabus journey, and attempted to find a bus to take us closer to our hotel. Unfortunately we couldn't find any helpful information and no-one wanted to help us either so we gave in and jumped in a taxi. We arrived at the swanky Radisson Warwick Plaza hotel and after a small heart attack of the receptionist not being able to find out reservation, we got it all sorted o...

Well firstly to breeze over our journey between Chicago and Washington DC - we had about a 6 hour drive to Cleveland and it was very cold when we arrived - still lots of slushy snow and ice on the roads. The motel was a million miles away from the luxury we had been used to in Chicago - we missed it already! We spent the evening in the room with the heating whacked up, went across the road to pick up some food to bring back to the room, and watched a Disney Pix...

We had a tour of their beautiful massive hous...

Due to our late departure from Orlando we did not arrive at our hotel in Atlanta until 3am. I felt bad that Ben had to drive the second part as it was so late and dark and there was nothing to see outside and the roads are just so monotonous so obviously I fell asleep.

The greyhound journey to Orlando itself wasn't too bad and the weather seemed to stay pretty warm and sunny all the way. However when we arrived - as usual we were dropped off in the middle of nowhere, it started to get cold, and then started to rain a little. We had to wait forever for a bus which took us to the downtown station which was a little scary. We then had to get on another bus which was ridiculously busy and we had out suitcases and all of our stuff...
