Whatup m'boy. It was more than excellent to have you here in NY, CT, and MA over the past 10+ days. While Matt works on uploading his pictures I'll be uploading many similar pix onto my site. Since you'll be out and about cruising the roads of Canada I'm sure you'll have many more stories to tell. You're all good my tomodachi. All good indeed. Stay dry and stay safe. Hope to talk to you soon.
For all you other Britons... Here is the answer to a very common question:
Q - "What is a twinkie?"
A - http://www.twinkiesproject.com/
Actually that's a link to a page that has BIG TIME FUN with twinkies, but at least you'll SEE what a twinkie is. Cake and vanilla cream. Mmm good. They'll be around for a few hundred years so take your time getting to the store to pick one up. = D
Curious about what the "MICROBE" in "mattandmicrobe" means? Don't you wish you knew.
Shameless plug time! I should have many of the pix uploaded soon. Sadly I'm not sure which site Matt's pix will be on so check out both garyploski.com (personal site) and ploski.us (family site).

Matt,
Pleased to hear that you've left the UK. One less crazy biker on the roads. Hope you have a fantastic time and some brilliant adventures. Don't worry too much about Bombardier I'm sure they will manage fine without you.
All the best

Hey Matt! Just posting you a random message from sunny (not) Peru! Trip sounds great so far, I´m sure you´re warmer than we are at any rate! Poor jet ski :-( Will be following your trip on the site, excellent! Watch out for the bears! Looking forward to the rafting in NZ - See you there! H & B x

Its probably going to look a bit weird posting my a message on my own message board - but I have to see if it works right?? Left London on the 26/6/04 for New York where I have been for the first week of my trip. Arrived and chilled out for an evening with my mate Gary, before heading out to Conecticut the next day. Spent some time on a river cruise and then went to watch fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore -0 excellent film I recommend watching it. Afterwards drove up to Massachusetts to stay at Gary's uncles's lake house (will post pictures soon) where just relaxed and did some jetskiing. Don't try to put too much weight on a small jetski you end up in the water!!!
Returned to New York and have done the sightseeing thing at Empire state building. Also spent a hell of a lot of time walking around the streets - god my feet hurt!
Anyway thats about all for now will update the site at the next opportunity.
