Tuesday 18th December/Wednesday 19th December I’m writing these two days together because we lost a day with the flight from Vancouver to Tokyo. So we headed out after our forth day in a row of McDonald’s breakfast and caught a taxi to the airport. We were there pretty early, and our flight left more than … More RTW 2007 installment #19 (Dec 18-Dec 24)
Saturday 15th December Doyle must still be on Denver time, because he got us up at 5:45am this morning, after crawling out of his tent in the middle of the night and ending up in our bed. We left our room around 7:30am and picked up our McDonald’s breakfast vouchers. After all these years of … More RTW 2007 installment #18 (Dec 15-17)
Wednesday 12th December Today was mostly uneventful due to a large amount of driving. The breakfast was pretty average compared to the other motels we’ve stayed at. We didn’t check out until around 10:30am or so, then drove through the Colorado National Monument, which is an absolutely stunning canyon area. The snowy parts of the … More RTW 2007 installment #17 (Dec 12-Dec 14)
Saturday 8th December The breakfast at Comfort Inn was really, really good. They had waffles, “biscuits” and gravy, bagels, cereal, hot chocolate, boiled eggs, danishes and muffins. Jeremy had some work he had to do and needed the free wifi for, so we didn’t leave Evanston until about 10:30am. We weren’t sure how the roads … More RTW 2007 installment #16 (Dec 8-Dec 11)
Wednesday 5th December Doyle slept so much better last night, in that he didn’t at all end up in our bed. That was a good thing. I suspect it might’ve had something to do with us not turning the heat on, though I’m not entirely sure why. Our free “continental” breakfast was really good – … More RTW 2007 installment #15 (Dec 5-Dec 7)
Monday 3rd December Doyle fared better still in bed last night. I managed to get him to sleep in his cot until 5:30am, with only one feed at 3am. In our room this morning, I got Doyle to copy me saying ‘Mama” a couple times. Jeremy’s jealous because he hasn’t learnt any d sounds yet … More RTW 2007 installment #14 (Dec 3-Dec 4)
Friday 30th November I got up at 6am in order to pack all our things so we could get to the airport in time, But Jeremy decided on sleeping in instead, so after I packed a couple things, I wrote and updated my blog until Jeremy got up at around 6:45am. We’d finished packing everything … More RTW 2007 installment #13 (Nov 30-Dec 2)
Wednesday 28th November I forgot to mention in the past two days that we encountered two film crews. on Monday, it was at a restaurant on 59th Street, across from Central Park, and yesterday it was in Central Park, on our way to the Alice in Wonderland statue. We have no idea what they were … More RTW 2007 installment #12 (Nov 28-Nov 29)
Sunday 25th November Well it seems Doyle’s lost his good holiday sleeping. Luckily we have a spare double bed in this room, so I managed to get Doyle to sleep in that for a while rather than pinching Jeremy’s bed again. We headed out around 9am and caught the subway to 42nd Street, then walked … More RTW 2007 installment #11 (Nov 25-Nov 27)
Friday 23rd November Another flying day today meant we were up at the crack of dawn. Well, I was up at 5:30am because that’s when Doyle wanted his breakfast. Anyway, once we were all 100% packed and dressed, we headed down to the Haymarket to check out the cheap fruit and vegetables, but decided we … More RTW 2007 installment #10 (Nov 23-Nov 24)
