Howdy
We arrived yesterday at 6am in Flagstaff, 30 miles away from the Grand Canyon. The hostel is VERY noisy as its near the railway line, and the trains here beep their horns constantly lol. We have a nice lil room with a double bed – yep i have to share with simon . We hqave no bathroom but we do have a sink! LOL
So yesterday we looked around and went to the shop for food…along route 66. Simon got his hair cut…looks much better now! lol. 2day we r heading out to a park for a walk…its near some lovely mountains – think they r called San Francisco Mountains or something. Then we will head back to the shop (its like a 2 mile up route 66 lol) as i need some stuff. Hopefully that will waste a few hours or something. lol
2morra we r heading out to the Grand Caynon with the hostel on a tour. Hoefully all should go well! Then thursday we might head to Sedona. Thats only if more people sign up at the hostel as it needs at least 5 people and it only has me and simon on it just now!
Better go Ciao

Welcome one and all to Tijuana Mexico, drinks buy one get one free, Happy hour every hour enjoy the party. As you may guess we went to Tijuana Mexico it was surreal, exciting and a little scary at the same time. It was an experience i dont think we will forget lol
Margeritas and tequila shots at 11am in the morning, where else but Mexico. If you ever get a chance to go there you wont regret it lol (hick)

Ive been booking up hostels till the end of may…so far ive got 1 done…i still have 4 waiting on replys! Waiting on Miami, LA, Las Vegas, and Grand Canyon….ive booked up San Francisco. Just emailed Miami again, and so hopefully they will get back to me…they told me to book online via the website but when i try it tells me to fone them…so i emailed them asking if i cood just book by email. No ay am i phoning them…and simon isnt going to do it. Need to phone Air Alaska too but ive told Simon that he is doing it cos ive organised everything else.

Hey, Im in Florida just now – Kissimmee. The 23 hours on the train was very bad….felt like dying lol. Simon didnt get up once and never went to the loo….i coodnt believe it! haha. I went like 4 times!!!
Arrrived yesterday, and 2day we headed into the Magic Kingdom, then went to Epcot…but it started raining, and most of the rides closed down, so we headed back. Simon is having dinner and im just writing this.
2morra i dont know wot we will do, we need to get a bus pass cos its $1.50 for every bus we get but the week bus pass is $12….so $3 a day times by 7 is $21…so its cheaper to get the bus pass….we need to find the place that sells them. Might do that 2morra morning.
Anyway ill update in the next few days…simon got a wireless connection so we dont need to pay for the internet while we r here. (in florida)

Dont know if we will have many pics for Florida cos we took lots when we went last year. So that might not get updated. Not much else has been happening. Got some gd pics of the White House (which took us a while to find cos there was another building that lots of tourists were going to…which we followed! lol)
Anyway the next update wont be till Thursday or the weekend or something. Ciao!
