For those that don’t know, Wilmington is a riverside town in North Carolina. Its Historic District (or Downtown) sits right on the banks of the Cape Fear river. It is beautiful, with some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen (and I love a great sunset). The sun sets on the other side…

Washington
So two days in Washington was great. I saw most of the things I had on my to do list. Everything is just SO big! The Lincoln Memorial and reflectiong pool was definitely my favourite. It helped that the weather on both of the days was amazing. There was also a Marine Corps marathon on…
Washington DC – so much fun
Washington is alot of fun. And beautiful. Saw the White House today and the Pres was either coming in or out – wasn’t sure and none of the police or secret service was saying. Me: ‘Excuse me sir, but can you please tell me what’s going on?’ SS: “No Maam, I’m not at liberty to…
NYC – I’m going to live there one day!
Well, New York certainly surpassed all expectations. What an AMAZING city! I was blown away by it all and didn’t even get close to seeing all I wanted to see. Just means I’ll be back next year. Met some wonderful characters, had a ball with everything I did and all I saw. Everybody is just…
WOW – New York continues
And here I was thinking “it’s crazy to do New York by yourself” . . . Today I walked 5th Ave, got proposed to 3 times (one guy wanted a hug, I offered him a handshake), decided it was New York’s Oyster & Reisling Day (unfortunately, I was the only one that got the memo)…
WOW – New York
I arrived in New York at 5:15pm yesterday, then waited in a taxi line at Penn Station for 20 mins. I had the most amazing butterflies. I was both excited and nervous. I also couldn’t stop smiling, I was finally in NEW. YORK. CITY!!! In the mere 15 hours I have been here, I have…
Train from Boston to New York
3 hour train trip to New York is great (through Providence, New Haven, Stamford, Conneticut). The wine is nice, got tunes playing, company is not too bad. I’m sitting opposite this guy that could quite easily double as a cousin of mine (Mum, Dad & Kyles, it’s a double of Glenn!) – I keep waiting…
Day 3: Boston
The JFK Museum was very interesting to say the least. And humbling. To have acheived all that he did in such a short life. I never realised he wrote two books before his presidency. After the Museum, I headed over to Harvard – wowee, it’s massive. But, I was expecting a little bit more opulence…
Day 2 Boston: Fenway Park
Fun filled day today. Started with getting lost trying to find the tourist hop on hop off bus stop – (cliched much???) turned left when I should have turned right! I have no sense of direction over here. Got off the bus at Fenway Park to explore! It was great. I didn’t realise it is…
Day 1: Boston
Boston: WOW, what a beautiful city. Many people I speak to compare it to Melbourne, I’d have to agree it is quite Melbourne-esque – just bigger, much bigger!!! Yesterday I walked from Back Bay, through Boston Public Garden & Boston Common, through Downtown, enjoyed Oysters at the oldest restaurant in the US (great little oyster…
