LAX didn't have WiFi so unfortunately we couldn't finish our story last night. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 11.50pm but it was 12.20am before we took off. Check out time was 11am and we knew from last year that the hotel would mind our bags for us until we went to the airport. As it was so hot, we asked about paying extra to keep the room until 6pm. We were able to pay $99 and keep the room. It was money well spent. We packed our bags before we went out ...

There are hills/mountains which lots of houses are built into but they are c...

I nearly had a disaster today. I left a bag on the rental car company bus that had my boots and Sassy's boots in it.

On the drive to the airport we got to see another part of Philadelphia. It is a very arty city and there are over 3000 murals around town. We saw a few of them this morning. We also saw 2 ...

The first hop on hop off bus didn't leave stop 1 until 9.30am and we were getting on at stop 6 so we had plenty of time to find a cafe and have breakfast first. Philadelphia is a very historic city and the focal point is the City Hall which is the largest in America. On top of City Hall is a 38ft tall bronze statue of William Penn who founded and designed Philadelphia in 1682. He named the city Philadelphia which means brotherly love in Greek. Philly was the US...
