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…
If you thought yesterday was touristy…
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…
Jenelle is a totally touristy tourist
Yesterday, I was able to book two tours in this tiny hole in the wall ‘Florida Visitors Advice Center‘. Warning lights go off when after one minute of conversation I hear “But we do it cheaper for you… not $49.00… make it $42.00 instead” The guy reeked of what was a seemed to be a…
He tells it how it is…!
I have managed to score a ticket to the audience of the Dr Phil show while I am in LA! Woohoo!
Miami
I so don’t fit in here. I am not blonde. I am not tanned. I am not a size 2. I don’t smoke. The first thing that I noticed about Miami is again, the smell. I forgot about the whole cigar thing. Cigars are everywhere and I have to try and be polite and not…
New York in a nutshell..
While I was on my flight from NYC to Miami I tried to write down as much as I could about New York so it would make for easier blogging! 🙂 So here goes – On the Friday morning – the Mike and Juliet show was soooo much better than I expected. With breakfast provided…
New York in categories –
Sights – *Water frozen in gutters with rubbish frozen in them as well *Guys selling fake bags and touristy NYC prints – no matter what the weather *A gambling operation on the subway – people were actually participating! *People in balaclavas. They don’t scare me anymore after seeing so many people wearing them. I get…
Brrrr it’s cold in here…
There is cold weather and then there is…cold weather. It is absolutely FREEZING. I cannot describe it in any other way. Basically it is so cold it burns. 🙁 No snow either – just freezing arctic air. It makes sightseeing extremely difficult so I am looking forward to Miami that is for sure! One thing…
Martha. Martha. Martha.
I was within 2 metres of Martha Stewart. I am still in shock. Due to the joys of jetlag, I was up at 3am. Watching CNN Headline News and repeat episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County and the Shape N Slim Infomercial. (See the difference – over in Edinburgh it was BBC Radio…
Gas and other happenings at 38000 feet
Yesterday felt like one of the longest days of my life! (First of all, yes I’m in New York safely – but I am working backwards!) So, the day started at 5am where I was laying in my cramped little bed (Did I ever mention that the beds at the hostel in Edinburgh were tiny?…
