Adam - car is awesome, on all fronts: Its just plain ace being able to up and go wherever you please, whenever you please. We were supposed to pay a $250 one way fee (because we're dropping it off on the other side of the country and all that). But if you don't ask, you don't get! That car there (YES - THAT ONE!) was described to us by the man at the desk as an 'economy class car, very small, smallest in our fleet, very uncomfortable if you're going to be ...

But hey, it cost $5!) and had to get a bus through to our hot...

Adam - well, we made it the capital! Washington DC. First impressions: horrible and wet. Got dumped four blocks from the metro station at 6 o'clock in the morning, after ten hours of hellish sleeplessness on the Megabus. To be fair not DC's fault. Some tool (I call him Mahmoud) twittering s***e into his Blackberry for two hours before yanking his seat back and nearly breaking Amy's knees. Got half an hours sleep (Amy got pretty much none), during which the only m...

On Sunday we walked the freedom trail starting at Boston Frogpond ending up in Charlestown very intresting!! Adam is currently reading Made in America by Bill Bryson so keeps correcting american history haha it was about 3 and a half miles from our hotel to charlestown and we then had to walk back as we forgot it was ...
