Fargo

Monday, 28 Jul 2008 | Views [33]

I thought I was going to miss my bus connection.  After spending all night on the bus from Chicago to Fargo, we were running around an hour late. I think I was the only one who was happy to hear that the connecting bus from Fargo to Winnipeg was running ... Read more >


Chicago

Sunday, 27 Jul 2008 | Views [24]

Running out of internet time... not going to do it justice. Met Liz in Chicago for a saucy weekend. Okay, it was more like a whirlwind Chicago sights event and I tried not to overuse the words 'awesome' or 'dude'. Liz has a knack - she was propositioned ... Read more >


Bellingham

Wednesday, 25 Jun 2008 | Views [79]

Feeling that urge to hop from one side of something to the other?  For example, "now I'm in the tropics, and now I'm not", or perhaps "I'm a little teapot, and now I'm not"? I went to the United States for the day, just over the ... Read more >


Orlando

Thursday, 25 Oct 2007 | Views [1203]

I should confess... I did hardly anything in Orlando except visit Kennedy Space Center. Other exciting ways to pass the time here include: 1) looking at the sky to watch the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Discovery pass by (24 ... Read more >


Kennedy Space Center

Thursday, 25 Oct 2007 | Views [296] | Comments [1]

Kennedy Space Center is fabulous.  I have spent two days there so far, and I still didn't get to see everything.  So I prioritised! The Rocket Garden allows you to walk through a series of tower models of historic rockets.  The Early Space Exploration ... Read more >


Go for launch!

Most exciting day of the holiday so far - watching the Space Shuttle Discovery take off from Cape Canaveral (Launch Pad LC39A) on mission STS-120, the 23rd Shuttle Mission to the International Space Station.  The space shuttle Discovery was the third ... Read more >


A night at the Fox!

Saturday, 20 Oct 2007 | Views [132] | Comments [1]

I was walking along the Ponce de Leon, and saw some brickwork that fascinated me.  I looked up.  It was magnificent.  I genuinely thought it was a mosque... until I saw the advertising posters and flashy lights on the other side. This is the Fox Theatre.... Read more >


Atlanta

Friday, 19 Oct 2007 | Views [220] | Comments [3]

First impressions aside, Atlanta is a reasonably nice place. I took a time out yesterday to see the Jimmy Carter Museum and Library, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. museum, and World of Coke. Yes, World of Coke aside, I totally recommend a visit to ... Read more >


The road to Georgia

Thursday, 18 Oct 2007 | Views [99]

The bus was filled with people - I had to punish the woman in the seat behind mine with some carpet burn.  I bet she regrets letting her mobile phone beep and beep and beep and beep and beep.  It bugged me so much that I started reclining my chair ... Read more >


Paradise Park (oh I mean Nashville)

Wednesday, 17 Oct 2007 | Views [425] | Comments [2]

Okay, so on the way out of Indianapolis I got to spend the morning with Liz at her workplace.  I want her job.  Office with a window looking to actual outdoors (it's a carpark, but it's exciting), social events and office equipment that looks like it ... Read more >
