So far, so good…

Yup.. thats how its going here in the US. Working my hiney off until all ungodly hours of the night, but its all worth it. The exploration and adventuring through the streets of Arizona make it all worthwhile.

One thing has become clear to me over here. The Americans are spoilt for choice.

Pure and simple. In almost every aspect of their day to day life, they are spoilt for choice.

Well howdy y’all!!

Guess where I am… Yup, Texas. Second night in, and I gotta be honest, its everything its cracked up to be.

As you get off the plane at Dallas Love Field airport, its just country music and Texan hats everywhere you look. The people are really friendly and even though it was like 0′C and raining, everyone had a warm smile and if you got within earshot of an airport attendant, you usually got a “How ya’ll doin’ t’day?”…
