It was harsh landing in Nashville after Orlando and I felt the cold *really* bad. Flying into Nashville, from what I could see I just knew I would love it. Apart from the comment from the Delta employee when I shivered as I put my polar fleece on when leaving the plane. The first sentence…

My one travel bit that I stuffed up on this trip was my transport from the La Quinta to the airport to go to Nashville. I didn’t realise that Orlando had a shuttle service for $17 so I was going to have to get a taxi which is $38. Orlando taxis are SUPER dodgy so…

One thing I wanted to make sure that I saw whilst I was in Florida was the Kennedy Space Center (the Wikipedia page has some great pics). I have this book at home from the first moon landing that The Age released at the time, and it always fascinated me so it was time for…

Hello Tim McGraw! Hello Garth Brooks! Hello Brad Paisley! Hello Brooks & Dunn! Hello Big & Rich! And of course… Hello Johnny Cash! AND LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!

Y’all, I am fast forwarding Space Center day and most of Nashville because I had the best night last night! I will go into Nashville in more detail but I had to do a newsflash for y’alls. The catch with the Grand Ole Opry is when you order your tickets y’all don’t know who is…

The day at Universal was a big one, thus the need to divide it into two posts! After the Hulk ride of my life, the guys suggested we go over to the Universal Studios park to check out some of the rides there. The first one we lined up for was the Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon…

I couldn’t wait to get to Universal so I tucked into breakfast at La Quinta (DIY waffles – YUM!) and waited for the Universal Shuttle to pick me up. When travelling you get used to a shuttle being a little 8 seater van that squeaks and you feel every bump on the road – this…

Train travel – such a classic and timeless way to travel across long distances. Connex are exempt from this for obvious reasons. When I arrived at the Amtrak station at Miami it was still dark – 6.30am and in the middle of nowhere. I checked my bags with some mystery guys that looked like they…

I have been sleeping so well here… last night asleep by 9pm and then awake at 5… but then went back to sleep until 8.30..! The mystery tour was picking me up at 9.45am so I went downstairs to the foyer and there was a massive fight going on. This lady had fallen in the…
