20th August – There’s The Whole World at Your Feet
Once again i’m up incredibly early (although it was 6am today and not 5am) i’m showered and dressed so now i’m sat at the desk in the hotel room with a bottle of Half & Half Nantucket Nectars (my new favourite drink) blogging before breakfast. In a few hours i’m meeting some friends who are coming in from West Virginia, I haven’t seen them in 5 years so we’re going to the Smithsonian, hanging out and eating Chipotle. It’ll be nice to have company after two days with none! Anyway, enough about the day that hasn’t happened yet! Yesterday was amazing! I spent the morning in Georgetown. Oh Georgetown, you…

19th August – Adventure is Out There
Good morning from Washington DC! I can’t believe i’m here! Yesterday was a very long day, I was up at 7:00 and didn’t get to bed until gone 4am GMT but it was actually only 11pm here. The current time it quarter past 6 as i’m wide awake so I decided to take this chance to blog before showering and heading out for the day. Yesterday had its good and bad points. The flight itself was 45 minutes early due to a good tail wind, the food was good and I watched Anchorman 2 & Chef as well as New Girl, Two and a Half Men and Sex and the…

Summer Travel Planning, Part 4 – What’s In My Hand Luggage?
Hi, just me again, casually harping on about my holiday which is now less than four days away! Next Friday I will be blogging from the Big Apple itself! I have only a few jobs left to do before Tuesday like using up the contents of my fridge, laying my clothes into my suitcase, buying my dollars and then finally online checking in. I can tell I’m starting to get the pre-holiday jitters, I thought this week would drag but here we are at Friday already! Anyway, my hand luggage is lying on my bedroom floor, all packed apart from the things I use every day like my iPad, my…

Gluten Free American Pancakes with Bacon (and an ice latte on the side) Recipe
Last week when I was contacted to let me know I’d been selected by the International Currency Exchange to enter the Travelling for Food Blogger Cooking Competition, I was so excited.. mainly because I knew exactly what I was going to make.While my parents were in holiday and my sister and I were feeling a little down, she whipped up some delicious gluten free pancakes. Gluten free I hear you ask? Why ever for? My sister has discovered this year that she has a major gluten intolerance so we are trying new recipes to find delicious food that she can eat. We are both huge fans of the state side…

Summer Travel Planning, Part 3 – Packing The Wash & Make Up Bags
With 8 days to go, we’re up to the packing! I leave very early next Tuesday morning which gives me just over a week to make sure I have everything. For the past month things have just been thrown into the open suitcase onto my bedroom floor, but last night I sat down with my lists and filled up my toiletry and make up bags, making them ready to blog about today. It will be a few more days yet before I put my clothes in the case to avoid creases but with everything thrown in last night and a quick weigh, I am well under my limit. Success! Like…

The Shopping List… Summer Travel Planning Part 2
Just a small warning, over the next 12 days, you’re probably going to get a little bombarded with holiday related posts such as what i’m taking in my bags, and of course today’s post about what I’m hoping to buy. Then while I’m away I’m hoping to keep a diary and update on the go! So be prepared. So anyway, like I mentioned above, tonight I’m sharing some of my wishlist for while I’m over there. I say some because I plan on doing a lot of Christmas shopping and some of the people I will be buying for read my blog. So what I should be saying is this…
