After the show finished, we walked outside the theatre and it started snowing. I don’t know what it is about snow but it just seems so pretty and wonderful. It almost makes me tear up, don’t know why? Maybe it’s because of all those pretty movies you see when it starts to snow at just the right moment in the plot that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Even though it was only about -7 degrees, we walked down to Times Square and just stood there watching the little white flakes fall down on us. We took photos of it, videos and even wrote messages in the red tables that are all over Times Square (they were all covered in snow). Once we wrote messages, we took photos of them and uploaded them as soon as we could! I had a couple of snowballs thrown at me too by my fellow travellers, which I didn’t appreciate. Little do they know but revenge was served later that evening when I stuck Brayden & Kate’s toothbrushes down my pants. When they read this, they will discover that revenge is a dish that is best served… with pubes.

We went and had something to eat, they tried to add a $15 tip on the bill which we didn’t pay because the service was shit house (we left them a $5 tip which was generous enough) and the guy even chased us down the street. I had to get my stern voice on to let him know that was all we were tipping him and that was all… even I love it when I get all macho!

Waking up the next morning was bittersweet, because we are always excited about visiting a new city, however not too excited about the whole packing thing. Everyone’s suitcases seem to be getting tighter and tighter too!

We headed to the airport and the cab driver tried to get a $25 tip off us this time… assholes. We gave him $5 only too…

When it came time to board the plane we discovered that we were flying on a very small plane, maybe about 30 seats on board? On one side was a single seat and the other side had 2. I was flirting with the airhostess who had a gap in her teeth that you could fly a plane through. She was fun.

Boston airport is lovely, Boston itself reminds me of the city of Melbourne with the attitude of Sydney… the people are ok, but they aren’t the nicest we have met in our travels across the states. Maybe it’s me? As soon as we arrived in Boston I got sick, having some issue with my throat and it’s hurting me to swallow (no jokes please)

There is no Wi-Fi here in Boston either… Well there is but you have to pay for it… fuck that. Brayds and I have web on our phones with our T-Mobile plan, but it’s so incredibly slow… imagine Facebook taking 10 minutes to refresh! How very dare you Boston!

Our hotel room in Boston (at the Sheraton) is really nice, the beds are so comfortable and the pillows are so nice. I find that you really start to appreciate these finer details the longer you are away from home. There is this great ad on TV at the moment here where these people return from vacation and fall face first onto their bed, talking into the mattress saying (muffled) “I’ve missed you”. I can really relate to that! I miss my bed!

Something that I’m bombarded with in every shop is Valentines Day shit. It’s everywhere here! So, another year sans valentine. Ugh. I’ve actually been thinking of sending someone back home an anonymous one, but I’m not too sure about that yet… I still feel that I’m flogging a dead horse with this one, but at the same time I cant stop thinking about him, it’s annoying the shit out of me to be honest. I don’t know what has to happen for me to stop thinking about him. I don’t think that there has been one day whilst on holidays that I haven’t thought about him – fucking annoying to be honest… anyway, onto another topic please…

I’ve also realised that I haven’t bought all the much and am already very low on cash – oh well… I’m not too stressed about this at the moment – maybe because tomorrow we hit Vegas and I get to hit the BOD (Band of Dad)… whenever I need a loan from Dad I like to start with this line, “so, 28 years ago, you foolishly decided NOT to wear a condom. It’s because of this that you must pay…”

Well, that was a great topic change Aza! Fuckwit.

So if you’d like to make a donation, I’ll send you my bank details pronto!

Oh and I didn’t really stick their toothbrushes down my pants… I ran them around the rim of the toilet : )

“that’s what friends are for…”
