S: to get back to New York we drove through the night, and stopped off at a truck stop to sleep in the dodge. As the car was so big it wasn't to uncomfortable just very cold - anything to save a few dollars lol. We said goodbye to the dodge, who had been lovely and headed towards Brooklyn. My aunt Debbie had a friend, Chun, who lived there and she was happy to put us up for the night. We finally arrived after New York traffic and she was great, such a lively, vib...

S: we knew we had a drive from Washington DC to Niagara Falls so we started out pretty early on in the day. It was great driving the dodge through all the country roads and seeing the quaint wooden houses with their porches and American flags out the front. Now James had organised everything and had said we are going to Canada, and I thought he just meant we would get close. We arrived at the immigration border and I was like a child and couldn't actually believe...

J: we got to our "urban farm" lodgings late, it was a couple of travellers that set up a B&B for other travels. After a good nights sleep we set off in hunt for breakfast.

Then we headed off to the United States Ca...

Then we got to see the genuine bell..... Smaller than I had imagined, but what it ...

S: so we had finally arrived in the Big Apple, I was so excited. Although James had organised everything and I had complete faith in him (well 99% lol) We landed and made our way to Manhattan where we were staying with a chap called Chickie, via the subway. After a quick freshen up, Chickie treated us to a Japanese dinner that was amazing. We both had broths and we felt like we were back in Asia again - definitely cured the want for a broth. We made our way to ...
