Hi Peeps, We got to Garden City in Kansas the next morning a few hours late due to fallen trees on the track from the storm and made our way to the hotel. The first thing we noticed about here was that the place literally stinks, we don't know what off but it was like manure or something. We just watched films in our room as we were tired from the trip and then at night we went to go out for some food and the heavens opened and we were drenched within seconds and...

When we got to the hostel th...

Hi Folks! So we got to Tuscaloosa at lunchtime and got to our hotel which was quite nice and had a pool and TV which are luxuries these days! We just had a few chilled out days by the pool and having some food. The hotel was a bit dodgy, I think a lot of people live there like in My Name is Earl lol! There were police every night and the reception guy was telling a cop about a prostitute who had been in three nights in a row with 3 different guys - nice!! The t...
