Last day in Boston!

Today I feel knackered, don't know why.

Yesterday I did a tour of the Freedom trail and went to the museum of fine arts. Both were great but by the time I'd been in the museum for 2hours (it was BIG) I was having problems keeping my eyes open.

On the way to the hostel I had one of does strange moments. You know how you can remember thing by their smell and then you always associate that thing with that smell. Well I was walking down the sidewalk when I felt this smell, and first I couldn't remember what it reminded me off only that it was a pleasant memory and then it hit me. When I was little I collected porcelain dolls and I used to have a favorite with black curly hair that I would drag around, and i would snuggle up to her and the nap of her neck smelt just like that.
Yes I know that's weird and all but it's what it reminded me off.

I think it's a pity I have to leave Boston today but I don't have time to stay any longer and I don't want to miss out on everywhere else! Hopefully the greyhound buses wont be too bad.

Turns out STA in the UK didn't know what they were talking about, they said I could just go in and give them the voucher then book the date & time I wanted. Turns out I can't book in advance just have to show up and get it done there and there if available and if the bus transfers anywhere then that's a new booking meaning tonight when I go to Niagara Falls I might get stuck in Buffalo. So not amused with STA. I mean it's quite important details to mention, especially to a woman travelling alone in a country where she knows no one. Also so far everyone has been really helpful except the Greyhound bus people. So far I've spoken to 4 representatives at the station and they were all really rude!

When I get to Niagara Falls I am doing my first time ever couchsurf! What that means is I am staying on someones couch. It's this brilliant website that lets you try and find people who you would get on with in the town where you are going and then stay at theirs (and vise versa). I look forward to it and think it will be a good thing. Hopefully I will find someone in NY too but I doubt it since it's a bit last minute now.

OK will get on with stuff now :-)

In Boston now!
Have booked in to the hostel where I'm staying and had a shower. They got some activites on tonight (bowling or comedy evening) so am just deciding what/if I should join.
Should probebly go hunt for food first thou.

Apparently my mobile don't work here at all, can't even receive or send texts :-( Will need to hunt for new mobile tomorrow.

Miss home already, which I realise it quite sad, but I'm tired and lonely in a new town so I'm allowed to feel that way. Tomorrow will be more woho I think :-) But not being able to text my friends are more annoying then I would have thought it would be, quite sad how used you get to does old things.

Using internet at the hostel. Facebook wont work proberly so can't even say hi to everyone that way.

Wondering what would be most fun, bowling or listening to comedy. Think I'm probebly to tired to bowl, but then again I might fall asleep if watching comedy :-)

OK well that's all for today will updaye once I have more.

Oh and so far Boston seems like quite a beautiful town, and thou it is quite busy, it's not as busy as I thought it would be :-)

To do:

Move (have to be out by saturday)
Finish jewellery order (should have been finished today but I appologised and extended it but need it done before I move out since then I can't make anything.
Get travel insurance
Finish Packing for trip
Get some proper sleep (not looking likelty)
Sort our bank transfers & direct debits
Sort out pay that agency got wrong
Clean room
Go to dentist
Get time at doctor (for a shot *brrr*)
Update blog

Well atleast I kind of did the last thing...

Tickets are now booked!

I am leaving the UK on the 13 October and will not be back until the 25 January!

Unless I get killed or something in which case I might be back sooner...or not at all.

But yay! I'm going :-)

Need input!

As a female about to travel thru North America I do have somethings I wonder about.

How safe it is to travel on my own? I have common sense so know not to trust strangers or walk down dark alleys at night etc, but I do still want to go out in the evenings and meet people so if anyone knows what towns I'm safest to go out in and what areas I should avoid etc please let me know.
Also suggestion of bars etc that would be fun for a single woman to go to are appreciated!

I'm am wondering about the following places:

Boston
New York
Washington DC
New Orleans
Los Angeles
Las Vegas
San Fransisco
Seattle

Bad day today!

In a foul mood today! So I'm watching DVD's to cheer myself up, and listening to music, and eating crap...
Right now I've finished wathing a movie so having a break. Listening to music and decided to post some pics of men I find attractive. For no other reasen then looking at attractive men cheers me up! And I need cheering up.

This is the man of my dreams!

Sadly he's not real :-(

But he does have a real life counterpart! Mr Hugh Jackman


And he's number one on my list (well after the real Wolverine ofcourse)


Richard Armitage (who does look a bit like Mr Jackman)




TJ Thyne, he might play a geek in Bones but I have a thing for geeks (atleast really sexy geeks)


Anglina Jolie, yes I am aware she's a girl but she's sexy


John Barrowman and yes I know he'a gay but he is still dead handsome and it's not like i'm likely to get any of the other guys just because the're straight so who cares.


I have no idea who this guy is except for the fact that he looks really hot in a Gambit aka Remy Lebeau outfit (I found it on the net)

I do have a thing for made-up characters, here is a list:

Mr Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp (thou I don't find Depp attractive, only Sparrow)


Spike aka James Marsters who I do find attractive both as Spike and himself.


Riddick aka Vin Diesel



Well that's all from me :-)

It's getting closer!

I am making my trip come together. This is how it's most likely going to look.

Land in Boston:

Spend 2-3 days in Boston, maybe 3 if I can go from there to Niagara falls & then back, otherwise 1 night in Niagara falls as well.

Then Greyhound to New York. Spend 3-4 days in New York.

Then Greyhound to Washington DC. Spend 3-4 days Washington DC 3 days

Then Greyhound to New Orleans thou I will probably need to stop on the way and sleep somewhere, unless I can stay on the bus the whole time. Spend 5-6 days in New Orleans.

Then either the Greyhound to Houston and spend 1 day there or fly (via Huston) straight to Los Angeles. Spend 3-4 days in Los Angeles.

Then Greyhound to Vegas. Spend 2-3 days in Las Vegas

Then Greyhound to San Francisco. Spend 3-4 days in San Francisco

Then Greyhound to Seattle. Spend 5-6 days in Seattle

Then fly from Seattle to LA & then over to South America (because for some reason that's cheaper then flying straight from Seattle).

Now I will work out how many days I will actually get everywhere and how much rooms (or dorms) will cost. And also how long I need everywhere since that depends on what I want to see. So next I will post list of thing I want to do etc.
