We arrived in downtown LA at midday on Thursday where sadly we were to part ways for a few days.Olli would get the next bus to San Diego where he would hopefully finally get his re-routed glasses and also see an old friend from the Kent swimming team.I would be staying in LA and seeing a friend called Chris.It is certainly worth mentioning that while on the way to LA we stumbled across, or maybe they stumbled across us, the worst immigration officers we have se...

Greg was a legend for what turned into a week stay at his house.Because of the weather all the busses were cancelled which meant we could not leave Madison.Lots of late nights in front of the TV watching travel documentaries and drinking whiskey. Greg found us a bus that could get us to Chicago where some greyhounds were running so at 9am last Thursday we started our journey south to the sun.After 17 hours of the usual lunatics and a brief stop in Chicago we a...

They are both right and since its 4:30 am and my half assed attempt to get to sleep has failed (might as well get myself prepared for the 6 odd hour time change for when we go to French Polynesia) I thought I woul...

I am writing this from a 6 hour coach down to Washington DC.We have been very lucky and got one of the newer greyhound coaches.It has leather seats and extra leg room. I cant wait to see one which manages to have even less.Most importantly though it has power sockets and free wifi.Its quite empty so we have been able to grab two seats each.Mills has taken full advantage of this and is fast asleep which is good as he didn't sleep much the first few nights due to...
