Vancouver, big city, bright lights, people, bustle, cars... sensory overload! Staring out of the taxi window at the city waking up, it was 7.00am, was very exciting after a week of grey sea! I’m a big fan of Vancouver, it’s similar to favourite places, Cape Town, Sydney, San Francisco! It sits on an island, there’s water, marinas, boats everywhere and you can walk around it with ease. Last time we were here we were headed for a skiing holiday at Lake Loui...

Having had an awesome pint of Goose Creek IPA at Washington National Airport, now called Ronald Reagan, we flew 75 minutes north to Boston. its a great flight, flying over Philadelphia and NYC before descending into Boson over a myriad of islands, a little like the approach to Oslo, as well as clumps of colour in the trees as the autumn starts to set in.

Each state has a defining strap line, Florida, for instance, The Sunshine State, quite what got in to New Hampshire, who chose Live free, or Die! Heading out of Boston we visit Harvard University wh...

Just in case the 06.30 alarm hadn't worked, the enormous A380 passing 200 feet overhead, while queueing for the shuttle bus, did! We are off to Washington DC and New England. Unlike Angelka, in my 30 years of visiting The States, I've never been to DC (District of Columbia) and we both want to experience the New England "Fall", as the leaves change their colours to create a beautiful palette. It looks no different from other US cities from the arrival at the a...
