Well by your blogs and text messages it sounds like your both having a whale of a time.Still can't believe Nicola you only won 6$ in Vegas..There's my big chance of moving back home gone out the window lol Leon & I are off home tomorrow,can't wait.Not seen everyone since your leaving do.Hoping to catch up with your mum & dad while we're down & I'm hoping to meet Jem for lunch next week.Lunch will be very weird without you as when we normally meet up in a pub its usually the 3 of us together.I've got a few days at Auntin's on my own so I'm gonna make the most of it.Auntin & Uncle David are coming up to stay next week so Leon's coming back tuesday for work & Uncle David is bringing me back thursday.I get to spend 11 days with them,which should be fun.Speaking of which I've got bags to pack & a flat to clean..Take care both of you & I'll catch up with you soon.Loads of love xxxxxx

Enjoying reading your blogs. Glad you are both having a fab time.

Excellent blog reports, almost feel I am there with you both.......I want a Philly cheese steak!!!!

Washington sounded fun - all those gadgets in the museum to play with must have been exciting.

Weather is not a problem; you can sit in the van while Ben puts up the tent!

Enjoyed the blog Ben. I was worried there would be too much sight seeing and not enough time to shop but I'm glad that wasn't the case. Keep it up!!!! Keep eating the hot dogs and the burgers while you can you'll need all those calories for all the sight seeing and the shopping. Love AuntinX

Brilliant blog message Ben. Let Nicola window shop as much as she wants, just never let her go inside as you will run out of money before you leave New York. Our life is going to sound so boring compared to yours over the next year lots of love Mum P x
