As we write this we are currently flying over Virginia on an AirTran internal flight to Boston, which amazingly has onboard wi-fi!

WE ARE ******! There are various different factors that have contributed to this..

1) Lack of sleep in hostel due to a) Sharing a dorm with the Romanian world record holding snorer. b) Sharing a dorm with a Jackie Chan lookalike, who also wrestles people in his sleep and reenacts martial arts manoeuvres whilst flinging himself out of the top bunk at 5 in the morning, before stumbling around in pure confusion. c) Sharing a dorm with people who have no regard for bunk etiquette, and steal your bunk so that when you come home at 3 in the morning some gork is lying in your precious rest space and you have to relocate.
2) Stuarts attempt to break dance on a deep sea fishing trip resulting in knee injuries which now hamper walking ability - our only affordable mode of transport.
3) Travelling for one month non-stop at 100 miles an hour with no time off.

We are beginning to realise this may, possibly, be unsustainable, but whenever we decide to have a break something else exciting to do comes up... and we do it! This is physically (particularly for disabled stu) and financially crippling.

Bring on Boston!!
