Note: my bag still hasn’t showed up and the weather here in Waikiki is blustery, rainy but still warm! Now.. back to New York.. After the late Thursday night my eyes could barely open when it came to the alarm going off at 6.30am to head to Fox News. Yes, you guessed it – another…
Aloha from Hawaii
Apologies that all these posts are a little out of order – but at the moment I have just made it to Hawali. I have been awake for 22.5 hours and am still going strong!! Yay!! But, yes I survived LAX and am safely located on the beautiful island of Hawaii, although it hasn’t been…
Another day, another Stewart
Thursday morning I was up somewhat early to get ready to head down to Chelsea to see Martha Stewart. It isn’t as if I could show up in tracksuit pants to the taping. As the audience confirmation email states – Women: Dress to impress. Dressy and fun— a chic dress, dressy jeans, or trendy and…
Chills, Jon Stewart and the City
Wednesday was spent doing extremely cultural things like… ummm… shopping. I had some last minute bits and pieces to pick up so it was great way to pass time… before heading to the taping of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart! Making my way to the studio was fun right at the start of the…
Greetings from the a** end of the world
Well yes folks it is time for my yearly post about the happenings of life at LAX. I am writing this to you from Terminal 3 – just slightly an improvement on the horrific experience of the homeless shelter aka Alaskan Airlines Terminal 2 but not enough to get excited about. I am sitting in…
You’re gonna make it after all!

At 421 Broome, Heath called it a day
Today’s blog post started off very differently but due to what has happened here this afternoon, this has totally changed. I had a lovely day (of which will be posted about soon) and returned to the hotel at about 4pm to start some writing. It was at about 5pm that I received an SMS from…
More posts are on their way
It has been another really busy week here at Maryland so my posts will be behind until I get to New York on Saturday and then I will have the chance to catch up! In the meantime, I have posted a stack of photos to my Flickr account. Yesterday we had our (undercover) site visit…
Money, it’s a gas
Yesterday it was Norm Abram that would have been impressed, today was the day that Alex P Keaton would be extremely envious. Yet *another* early start as we had to navigate DC during peakhour traffic. Our day would consist of a visit to the World Bank, a lunch break and then a visit to the…
Crab cakes and power drills
Wednesday was yet another early morning start, when we boarded the Terp-mobile for a day in Baltimore, Maryland. We had a site visit to Black and Decker Headquarters with some sightseeing in Baltimore itself. Photos from Baltimore are here The first place everyone ran to when we arrived in Baltimore was Filene’s basement. There was…
