PHD

Folk, look out for the symptons of this disease.

We both have caught a bug [disease] known as PHD.

We are not sure when this came about but probably last Wednesday night when we were about to board the plane in LA for Brisbane. The plane was full!! You know how that feels

We both have become very irritable and when we are with friends.

It is best you all keep away from us for a time until we sort this out!!! We are not sure when the irritability will go away, but I sure hope it is soon. 

It is particularly worse this time as the build-up for PHD has been over 6 weeks, where as PRD is usually built up in just week, eg Cairns to Karumba, Sydney to Surfers, BQ, FNQ Ride etc 

We feel sure we will get over this soon and we will keep you posted. 


We are not likely to die from this problem in the meantime we are eating a lot of chocolate.

Take care!!!

George Washington

George is the first president of the USA.

Again we went for a walkout and entered this posh setting where folk were being served champagne etc and the folk about the statue where very highly dressed like a school formal.

What had happened is that we 'gate crashed' a wedding and soon after talking this photo we were asked to leave.  :-)

Entertainment

A holiday experience is not complete, especially when visiting USA, without a visit to a jazz club. (see photo)

What goes with this experience is to taste the single distilled USA Jack Daniels whiskey, in a cigar smoked filled room, rocking to music and the  moves of Ray Charles.

While we are on whiskey taste you may want to try this.

I was fortunate enough to visit the triple distilled whiskey that comes from Dublin. This came about when we visited the Jameson whiskey house.

Then compare the taste of the above two whiskey's with the Black label Johnny Walker from Scotland and tell me which is best?

People watching.

Mr and Mrs have put on 0.5kg each. Their excuse is probably more to do with what is stuffed in the packs due to the hot temperatures in 'times square' being approx 34.

People watching before we catch the next bus is an interesting observation especially during visits to London, Paris, Lucca & NY.

The elegance of the dress sense is very impressive in Paris and thus why it is the fashion capital of the world. Everybody just looks plain sexy!

Enjoy!
