US here we come

Hi,

We are now in Binghamton, but I will leave it to Barry to write more about it here, being the birth place of Rod Serling (one of his heros). Surfice to say, that we’ve been lucky enough to have had a Serling tour of the city by a fellow devotee.

We are pleased with the hotel again, which is great, and this afternoon we visited the local mall to see if we could find anything (by way of clothes or shoes) for Joey and/or Hannah. And to our surprise and delight (and after walking the streets of New York) we finally came across both some shoes and clothes that met with their approval (thank God). Joey is seeking to replicate the rap/hip hop look and we noticed a couple of local black doudes who looked like they might have found their apparal from the same stores. Joey was even served by a black guy who looked the part which must have been a bit of a thrill (though he doesn’t show it, keeping his cool exterior).

One of the things i wanted to say, though, in case I hadn’t already. We (Barry and I) have really enjoyed writing the blog and checking for comments from friends and family, so if any of you might be thinking of travelling, particularly with kids, give it a thought. We have carried a portable computer with us and nearly everywhere we’ve been able to link into the local wireless network. There have been a couple of times where we’ve come across computers but I’m so glad that we haven’t relied on accessing these it wouldn’t have worked as well.

better go for now, got to go down to the gym with the kids.

cheers, for now, Joannie
