This is a long arse drive to Betty and Rusty’s in the Sonoran Desert where there are cactus and real cowboys. The cactus here in the Sonoran desert can only be found here in the world, and they are huge!! When we get to Betty and Rusty’s we are shocked at how simple their lives […]

Today we went to The Carlsbad Caverns, pretty impressive caverns, in fact, they are massive and are full of stalactites and stalagmites. It was very dark and cold in here there is also a massive population of bats in the caves, so we were all very conscious of being shat on. The walk through the […]

We drive to San Antonio today to see the Alamo and to be honest the group was not in the bit slightest bit interested, so we just stared at the massive Koi in the stream pond thing in the back and used the restrooms. We waited for Mike to return from one of his many […]

We drive to Austin Texas today the shit really hit the fan with regards to money. Mike our Trek America tour guide made it quite clear that he was not happy that we had found out that we suspected he was ripping us off. He basically told us that we were on our own with regards […]

We got up nice and early and had very long hot powerful showers making most of the hot water knowing that we won’t get a decent shower until we get to Las Vegas. We packed our bags and checked out of the hotel. We drove for hours and really found nothing and we couldn’t find […]

We get up as late as we can today as the hangover from the night before was a big one, but just in time for breakfast, I had four danish pastries and a muffin…….mmmmmm. Jane had a bagel….YUK!! We spent several hours skyping friends and family and generally sorting stuff out. I managed to get […]

We drive to New Orleans today, it’s not a long journey, but we take a detour and go along the coast road to see what damage Hurricane Katrina had done. There are just concrete bases after concrete bases where houses used to be. The pier was completely destroyed!! We went food shopping, and we bought […]

Today is another long ass drive day, but with another hangover, we all slept!! The trouble was that my trainers are ruined, so I have had to wear flip flops all day. Which if anybody knows me I hate them, in fact, I despise flip-flops, but that is all I have so I have had […]

We get up early today and head for the Ocoee River. We set up camp in a very picturesque woodland, and we all get ready to go white water rafting which hardly any of us have done before, and you can tell that we did not know what to expect. At 14:00 we head down […]

The drive today was going from Washington DC to Bristol Tennessee, we all had hangovers, so we were sleeping in our very spacious minibus. We make up to our tour guide mike rabbitting on about a foam henge!! what the hell was he on about?? Well, he had been speaking to one of the other […]
