;A is a mixture, can't decide if I like or not? however, loved Arizona. Ken & I want to keep on travelling to see what US has to offer, cause so far we have been soooooo impressed. You must be having soooo good time! We don,t want to go home, just want to keep on travelling. Amtrak has been quiet a discovery though, taking us through vast country in so short a time. We can see how you are coping in this country cause everyone is so helpful and friendly. Dont know where you will be in LA, unless you know anyother hotels who offer free wine and cheese, suggest you stay here. Anyway your a experenced traveller so you'll fine your way. so for now. Take Care, Enjoy. and love. Shelley & Ken.

ps. dont spend tooo much on the bandits??????????

Hi Shelley & Ken,

Hope your having a great time, the weather here in San Francisco is also cold at a grand old 64 degrees. Booo!!

I think I will probably pop back to Vegas before I go home as my tan had disappeared now and I would like to get it back again. How is LA? I should be there in about a week and half. I’m gutted that I have missed you both as I only booked next weeks accommodation for San Diego yesterday, talk about bad timing.

Love Jacks x

Hi. Jacks, seems were crossing paths around here. Just arrived in LA from Flagstaff. Is it cold in San Fran. as it is here in LA. xx

Hey Guy's its great to hear from you all. I’m still having bags of fun and the only lure to bring me home is you guy's and of course my Visa, I love it here (warts and all).

Firstly to Jan, if I could afford to get everyone out to Vegas I would because it would be such a laugh, there is something to suit everyone even if you’re not a gambler or a Bazza fan. Some of the people and sights you see there are hysterical.

As for the football John, it has been an embarrassment especially when we were slaughtered by the Germans. I watched the first few games out here but stopped watching due to disappointment and the fact that I would never get that 90 mins back again. The day we played Germany I was flying from Denver to Vegas and five different yanks throughout the day apologised to me. Oh the shame!!

Glad to hear that the girls are good and that Ells did the race for life. Maybe next year we could all do it together again but who knows where I will be. As for Josie wearing just a pashmina, well why not I wish I could without being arrested. Anyway I only have 5 weeks to go now and even though I will be looking for some work when I get back I am currently thinking about what I need to get up to which will keep me occupied so please get them BBQ's fired up as I feel that im gonna get bored and bored Jacks is dangerous.

Hi Honey, havent written for a while - its been a bit crazy. Just looked at all your photos and sitting here with the girls and john, they will send a message shortly. Looks like your having the itme of your life. Ells did tha race for life with me this year - a bit slower than when we did it! but she did really well and raised loads of money. Josie went to a party the other day wearing you black and white pashmina as a dress! it went down really well with all her friends. Lots of love keep having fun, Its difficult keeping up with you.

Ah Luke Goss will always have a special place in my heart, the hours I spent waiting in line for Bros tickets and standing outside his mums house in Peckham -if I was you I would have to go and see him banging away on his drums!!!!! But then again I know you are a big Bazza fan and have been to see him before you can"t bet Copacabanna - what a choice!!!!!!! Lol xxx

Hey there jacks - sorry have not been on this for a while, but couldn't get on it last week. Not sure what was going on? Sounds like you are having a fab time, although does seem like you entered the set of 'Deliverance' along the way. Am missing you loads, but am loving hearing the tales of your travels. Keep the stories and pics coming. Love ya. xxx

Hi Honey, Thank you soooooo much for my NY t-shirt I will be sporting it once bump has joined the world!!!! All that shrimp sounds like my kinda town. There is a museum in Walthamstow which me and Freya went to a couple of weeks ago which is all about Walthamstow in the olden days and there is an art museum (get me E17 nerd!). Well another bad night for England football I think Freyas kit is going back!!!!!! Take Care my lovely and keep your eye out for Sue Ellen, Bobby and the rest of the Ewings out there in Dallas xxxxxx

Hi Jacks I think the answer is BUBBA Forrest's mate who sadly pased away in Vietnam but eventualy became the Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory.
I love Mels Drive in it looks fantastic.
LOL xxxxx

Ok what about this one "Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

I will give you a clue it's my favourite place to eat here in the US and some of my photo's will help you out.
