Boosted by an adequate amount of sleep in our motel beds, we began our journey from Canton to Dearborn with a cup of Bigby’s Tea in hand and excitement for visiting the museum we’d heard such amazing things about; The Henry Ford Museum. If you haven’t heard of it, let me correct this right … Continue reading PLANES, TRAINS AND… GAMEBOYS? | HENRY FORD MUSEUM | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
This by far was the oddest day of our trip. The four of us woke up in The Whitehall Hotel in Chicago, grabbed brunch from a little place around the corner, Sunny Side Up, where the portions were massive and I had the best chai tea latte I have ever experienced (which is a mean feat). … Continue reading A DOMESTIC ADVENTURE | CHICAGO TO CANTON | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
After our beautiful morning of food, glorious food, we were left to our own devices in the Windy City. As per every other stop on our road trip, it was carefully planned for a day of organised fun, fun, fun. Sadly, not every plan comes to fruition in the way you hope... https://www.instagram.com/p/BGCR4SMPgrA/?taken-by=nai_192 We ended the … Continue reading BLUE SKIES, BASEBALL AND THE BEAN | CHICAGO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
Happy Travel Tuesday! Today I'd like to present the newest in our series of vlogs produced during our USA / Canadian Road Trip. This one takes place during our journey between Shenandoah Valley, to Great Smokies National Park. We did a quiz, sang some songs, and saw some foam. The usual. It'd mean a lot … Continue reading FOAMHENGE | GREAT SMOKIES | VLOG | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
Roadside attractions played a big role in our lust for road-tripping the US of A; at this point, we had already hit up Dinosaur Land and Foamhenge. Neither disappointed. I didn’t have quite the same faith in the next one, but I was willing to be pleasantly surprised… Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace. (Not quite an … Continue reading THE FIRST LINCOLN MEMORIAL | THE RUSSIAN DOLL OF ATTRACTIONS | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
The last post finished up in sweet little Lynchburg, the birthplace of Jack Daniels' Whiskey in Tennessee. The next post, on the other hand, starts where the drinking of Jack Daniels' tends to begin... Nashville. I find picking favourites very difficult. I mean, why should you have to - opinions change so regularly, surely from one day to … Continue reading A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL AND AN UGLY HANGOVER | NASHVILLE | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

Amazingly no, that is not the name of my new country music album, though it should be. It's how we spent one beautiful, warm day of our trip. If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you'll know how much I like to plan. To the extent that before taking this trip, I pretty … Continue reading WATERFALLS AND WHISKY | TENNESSEE | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
https://www.instagram.com/p/BERQzjxtbvm/ Day 2 in Gatlinburg, we woke up in our Fabulous Chalet Inn beds, in a lovely cloud of must to the light shining through the hole in the curtains... Dreamy. I jest, it wasn't all that bad really. We got used to it, anyway. Plus, this (thankfully) had no bearing on the rest of the … Continue reading ONE BUNION, THREE BEARS | GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
I would never normally use the word fabulous to describe something, but my my is it appropriate... I really, truly had my reservations about staying in Gatlinburg but it was really not as bad as I thought it would be. Yes, it's pretty tacky and sort of like stepping back in time, but LORD no matter what, … Continue reading FABULOUS GATLINBURG | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
