Month: October 2023

• Ticked another bit of American cuisine off the list – Applebee’s! Actually really good, we had festive chicken and some tenders and it was all really good. Also Dr Pepper on tap. My favourite part of this country so far tbh. • We survived the night on the worst bed I have ever slept…

• We started the day with a return trip to the Australian Consulate where there was great success – an emergency replacement passport! Hooray, now we can both go home instead of one us having to live in America forever. • Then we said goodbye to our local train station – Grand Central. It was…

• With the sun shining and the temperature low (52°F! Sorry, not sure what that is in Celcius anymore I am too American) we opted to spend our last full day in Manhattan at Central Park. It was within walking distance of our hotel so off we walked! • You can always tell when you’re…

From Rocky training on stairs to Jacob ploughing, today took us from Philidelphia to Intercourse (not a typo).

• Started the day with a trip back over the border. After handing back in our moose, we left the Canadian side of the falls and returned to the US. • Back in gun land, we hopped aboard the Maid Of The Mist which is a fully electric boat that drives right up close to…

Against TLC’s advice, we did go chasing waterfalls. And moose.

• Started the day bright and early with a domestic flight from Vegas to NYC. Just in case you hadn’t lost your house gambling already, there’s pokies to play in the airport, which people were. At 5am. On a Sunday. • We took off in a desert, and landed in a surprising amount of greenery.…
