Signing in...

How y'all doin? (with an American accent)

Just a bit of a sign-in while I have access to the Internet.

We are currently on vacation in the States.  I have a BIG birthday coming up and instead of a birthday bash, I wanted to do something as a family, a holiday of some sort, somewhere we have never been before, somewhere BIG.  So I chose the USA.  I did want to do it on my actual birthday, but work commitments didn't allow that so we brought our holiday forward.

I will upload lots of photos and more details when we get home.

As I type, we are currently on a train heading from New York to Washington DC (very shortly we will be approaching Philadelphia).  I have free wifi access all the way (hence the post).  I am looking out the window, it is overcast.  Everything here is sooo big.  We have just passed the most gorgeous houses - you know the ones I mean, the typical American homes, double story, pitched roofs, picket fences.... ohhh wow !

We are sitting near a guy who is from NY, he is a lawyer, and he is travelling to DC for business. The people here are super super friendly.  It's great talking to different people andgetting a little glimpse of their lives.  At Penn Station (NY) we met a lovely girl called Amanda, she has just recorded a song, she gave us details of her web site etc, so I will be checking that out when we get home for sure.

Well that's just a super quick update.  I will try and check in again at some stage.

Hope all is well in your world.

Mwah xx
