For those of of you that still read our journal after a year of being away - We made it to New York, our final destination!! Can't believe it's been a year, we've had such an amazing trip. We're staying with a friend we met in Peru (on the Inca Trail) for a few days in Manhatten at the moment so are really lucky as it is pretty similar to London prices here! Have the usual scabby hostel for a couple of nights before we come home however! Our flight home is on Th...

We decided to fly down to Florida rather than go overland as it was cheaper and a lot less hassle, so arrived in Orlando two days ago after visiting Minnesota and Chicago when we entered back into the States. Lots of shopping in Minnesota and then lots of sweating in Chicago as it was reeeaally hot! Had a nice few days there, we had been before so tried to do some things we hadn't done last time. Visited the excellent free zoo in L...

The time spent in LA was pretty uneventful but nice to rel...

Hi, back in LA for the last time before we fly to Peru on Wednesday. Had an excellent time in Vegas, so much so that we extended our stay there to 6 nights. We had company for the last 3 nights as we met Amy and Matt there, the couple we had met previously in Fiji and then LA. So went out with them, drinking, eating, playing some slots (me and Amy) and losing money on a 2am poker tournament (Michael and Matt)!!Before getting to Vegas we visited another load of Na...
