Afternoon from Philadelphia! We are at the tail end of our time here, and are heading to the lovely shores of Boston tomorrow for 4 days. It's going to be a 7 hour bus trip (Tom's already dreading it!) but we will be staying in our own room for the first time on the trip! No snoring, sleep talking or lights going on at 3am, which should be lovely. Philadelphia, we have come to the conclusion, is......a bit boring. After being spoilt in Washington with all the fr...

So it's our last night in Washington, and we are sat on the bottom bunk listening to a few more squirrels in the roof. All in all the hostel has been great, although the showers are tepid, if not cold which is not good for washing hair or showering if your a wimp like me. We left you last time by saying we were off to the museums. Well... the museums in Washington are not all there cracked up to be, not a patch on London! We went to the Air and Space museum as w...

So our last night in New York was the comedy club (that we were duped into buying).

Anyone remember Sabrina the teenage witch? Well it was the funny aunt, that's who! Now we haven't a clu...

Hello all from NYC! So this is our first offical entry, and tom is helping write it! We've had a few laughs, mishaps, sore feet and wrong turns along the way but it's been a great start to the RTW trip. Our subway ride to the hostel was an experience. I was grinning like a chesire cat just because we'd arrived, and Tom decided to follow his NYC subway app directions to the hostel, instead of the hostels own directions... anyway cue sitting on a train, blasting p...

So, it's 5 days before we set off on our trip of a lifetime! Excited is an understatement. I will try my best to write on the blog every few days (even just to satisfy my mums fear of me being away) and will make it as interesting as possible. Please leave any messages as we would love to also hear about whats going on with all of you back home. Our first stop is NYC and we begin work at Camp Echo in upstate New York on 7th June till 11th August. Fingers crosse...
