USA Day 2

Still trying to get used to the heat and the humidity but at least the house is full air con and that makes a big difference. Went out for the first time to the local supermarket today and was good fun apart from the rain. So at the moment not doing to much as i am still trying to get used to the weather and time difference.

USA Day 1

Was up at at 5 ready to leave at seven, was a nice drive with Cheryl to the airport arived at 9.30, by the time i got through to the board gate did not have t wa long before i was on the plane, being in a wheelchair they put you on first and last off. First thing i noticed when i got out of Nicks air con car was how hot and humid it is, it’s very hot and humid but once inside it was nice and cool. Going to have a lazy day today, will be in and out the pool most the day

Am I Ready

 I Think i have packed every thing, bags a lot bigger than I wanted but 1/2 is full with sweets and chocolate but then they are for Erin and family and will give me room to bring stuff back, hope to start to add photos when i get there. I think i have worked it out, we will see. People keep asking me if i am excited, to be honest I am not really. I am really looking forward to seeing Nick & Gina again, think it was 2013 when we last met. I am going to have so much fun when I get to Erin and her family, they have 4 young kids so that means they will have a 5th whilst I am there. As Del Boy said " He who dares wins" I will try a little to stay out of trouble

USA Trip

 Its been a while since my last post, just over a year. Not much has happened, had my shoulder operation in September 23 so only really started going back out this spring, have been getting quite fit with all the pushing. So I am ready for my trip. I am going for 8 weeks, will be staying with Nick for a while as he has a road trip planed of 6 days in his truck, so looking forward to that. I pick up my car on the 9th sept then will leave Nicks on the 10th sept and head to Erin, about a 3 day drive, will stay there a few weeks (not sure how many). When i leave there i am going to SpaceX, it's a 5/6 day drive. really looking forward to seeing there even if its just a drive past then the drive back to Nicks which will take about 5/6 days Then chill out at Nicks until the 4th Nov for my flight home. This is the min time it will take to get to places, but I expect I will get side tracked, well I hope I do.   Sunday 8 th Pick up car from Sarasota airport after 2pm. Monday 9 th Head t
