I flew from Boston to Orlando on what has to be the best airline experience I have ever had. Surprisingly, it was also the cheapest ticket I think I have ever bought too at just $62. Loads of legroom, free drinks and snacks and the most gratious service (very unlike 'SleasyJet')!! Being on my own again, I was back in hostels and not hotels again - gutted! The hostel was located in a place called Kissimmee, in the southern part of Orlando. I have to say, ...

Firstly, I have to apologise for the photograph on this postcard, as the site did not have a single photograph of Boston, so I had to use one of Washington. I was hoping that the majority would not notice, but beiiing so honest, I had to fess up!!

Greetings from New York! Thursday 10 June: Arrived in New York feeling utterly depressed. Nothing really prepares you for the intense culture shock of landing alone in a strange city, where everything appears to be happening around you and not including you.

Fortunately, they had room at the inn, with a lov...
