We awoke with banging heads this morning from a very good night! we went to see Erin McDougal a jazz singer with a band, she was brilliant and we had a lot of wine to accompany the music! lovely! Then had a bottle of champagne (thanks keith and carol). We then went for an all american dinner at TGI fridays as we couldnt afford dinner in the jazz...

We had such a lovely time in Grimsby with the Smiths and were sad to leave on friday but excited about our next step! we flew from Buffalo to Chicago after getting through border control (which was scary) and got a transfer to our hotel (which is gorgeous!) We went for a few drinks and then settled in for the night. This morning is the coldest w...

When we left Chicago the bus host asked if we wanted a movie for the ride home. Some said yes and some said no. She seemed to think that there were more no than yes so at first did not put a movie on. I spoke up an a few more people said "yes put a movie on". The last year it was really fun because we saw the movie "Elf" on the way home which ma...

Thursday Thursday Thursday in The Windy City and I was nearing the end of my journey. I had just completed a week in the country and had such an awesome time already yet it was time to start thinking about getting home. I had a busy day ahead of me Friday so today was my shopping day.

I decided to try the Untouchables Tour that a guy from...

We just saw a few white-tailed deer on the edge of the woods, everything is looking quite beautiful right now. We’re heading towards a town called Holla...

We arrived after the short flight to Chicago and established contact with Jim (a friend of Lucie's dad) and were told to look out for Jimmy Jnr at the baggage reclaim. A picture had been sent via the internet and soon enough we saw Jimmy lumbering towards us. We walked through to the car park and just as we were about to load up, the heavens op...

Day 30 - Minneapolis, MN to Madison, WI to Chicago, IL

Overslept purposefully this morning. When Bri couldn’t even keep her eyes open after multiple alarms, she allowed us to sleep in. The hotel compensated for its outdated rooms and furniture with the best free breakfast we’ve encountered so far. Bri decided that Midweste...

Nothing beats a good old fashioned roadtrip - visiting long lost friends and re-connecting! Hanging with the Verderames in Vegas. Bart cut his hair, quit listening to heavy metal, and otherswise gave up sticking it to the Man. Now the General Counsel of a hot company with a lovely family, he is the Man. Visiting Kevin Walbrick (HBS bud and all-a...

Alex: Due to our wanderlag we didn't do too much in Chicago. The library (which was an amazing building - it kind of reminded me of a birthday cake because it was dead square with ornate green metal work at the top like icing) gave 2 hours a day free internet access and allowed us to upload photos so we got up to date with all the stuff. Other t...
