... exactly helped; how inconvenient! Anyway, everything is now booked; flights, cat into cattery, rental car to airport, Gatwick hotel, car hire in the US, 4 US hotels, 2 US houses, 1 US condo, and rental car from airport. Now I have to think about packing.......

So in summary
Great wedding.
Brilliant surprise honeymoon.
Business class - GOOD!

We then went to our stop for the night which was out in the middle of nowherein a funky hostel with a big welcome to mexico sign out the front. It waspretty funky and the owner cooked us mexican food for dinner which was reallynice.

... a coffe shop before going our separate ways - we would see them for a proper welcome home the following weekend.  The mood was then broken a bit when we got a bad tempered taxi driver to take us to our hotel - he said the ride was too short for him to make any money. On the morning of 20th January, after a slight panic when the Hoppa bus failed to arrive to take us back to Heathrow coach Station, and then a ...

Just thought I'd toss it out there -- anyone have any cooking suggestions? I've been doing pretty well cooking for myself (I've got some pasta and vegtables leftover from dinner ready for lunch today in the fridge!) but I was just wondering if there were any recipies you all might reccomend for me to make here.
