New York

13/09/10. We got back so late last night from buffalo due to the flights being delayed.  Buffalo is surrounded by suburbs named after the first peoples but they have cleared all the land - no heritage left at all which is sad.  Grand canyon was better because it's all natural and so beautiful. The undisturbed land is very beautiful out here.  New …

I'm home, Wendy's at Bon Jovi

Sooooooooooooo...This time next week, we'll be winging our way 'cross the pond'. Should be interesting...I hate the cold and Great Britain and Ireland are always cold and damp. Bringing lots of warm, winter-like clothes...not taking any chances...Wendy's packing capris...Told her to get a sleep mask. She needs dark and quiet...I sleep with TV, …

The end, or is it just the beginning?

So, this is it.

We arrived in New York early today after a night out in Niagara to celebrate Freddie's 19th birthday and our historic journey across the globe is over.

90 days ago, a small group of strangers met on the Embankment in central London to begin an adventure on the Oz Bus which would for me ultimately turn out to …

Statue of Liberty

We decided to go to see the Statue of Liberty. It was Good Friday. Big mistake! We queued for 2 hours to get onto the boat (whilst Hattie and Amelia queued for tickets), where we were crammed like refugees to get to Ellis Island. We walked around and took plenty of photos. The view of Manhattan Island looking back was brilliant. All the food in the …

Five Days in the Big Apple - Day Five

My BIG trip to the BIG Apple Day Five Wed Sept 3rd My last day in New York began with getting woken up by the hotel's neighbouring resident blasting a golden oldies radio station from their window at full blast - but there are worse ways to be woken up than to hear 'Cupid, draw back your bow' being sung loudly at 8am, so I didn't mind too much, and …

Frick, Madison Shopping and Klimt

This is an entry that will have few pictures but was a really great day! The Frick Collection does not allow photography in the museum, otherwise this would have been just full of them from my time in the awesome place. So ok, I did sneak 1 photo as you can see, but let me explain the Frick and why it is so cool. Henry Clay Frick was a tycoon of …
