Sorry for the lack of posts, but that should change....

I wasn't actually that far off the mark when I joked about them not having the Internet in the States. Of course they do, but in most places, its stupidly expensive (e.g. $15 per hour in Orlando) or in a really incovenvient place (such as the two mile walk in Tampa!). Before we left the UK we'd managed to book most of our hotels and travel arrangements for the majority of our stay in the US. This however did not include San Francisco and Los Angeles - we figured we'd easily find internet cafes to do it as we went along. Due to this lack of access however, we found ourselves scrambling around for accommodation just days before we were due to arrive. Cutting it far too close with San Francisco, and not being able to check the reviews out on the Net prior to our stay, we thought enough was enough and bought a computer. Practically every hotel we'd stayed in previously offered free Internet access if you had your own laptop, so we guessed it would be the same for most of the rest of the world..maybe. We hope anyway.. but at just under $600, it was a pretty good buy

Anyway, we will attempt to make up for the massive backlog that has now materialised due to our previous lack of access, but it still may seem a bit rushed.. afterall there is around 4 weeks of stuff to catch up on! For now, I'll just list the places we've been since our last update, so you might find entries for them soon!

CHICAGO (3 days)
ORLANDO (13 days)
TAMPA (5 days)
LAS VEGAS (+ Grand Canyon) (5 days)
SAN FRANCISCO (5 days)
HOLLYWOOD (LOS ANGELES) (7 days)

Oh, we'll also bung up a load of photos soon too!

Andy.
