So, after our amazing wedding, we find ourselves on the first leg of our tour across America in Boston. We set off this morning at 5.30am to be at the airport for 6am. Paul's Nan and brother came to wave us off. Upon arrival at the airport we were able to jump the queue and were checked right in (thanks Krysta's Mom!). After a full English breakfast we made our way to the departures and said our bye to Matt and June.

When we took our seats on the plane we found that we were over the wing which comes with loads of extra leg room! The flight was quite uneventful except they forgot to charge us for Catherine's flying buddy (Gin!) - no repeat of our last flight to New York this time (Hello Jenny!). After arriving in New York we transferred to Boston - we had to recheck our bags and I found that I had lost my Ryan badge :-(

For those that do not know my rucksack is called Ryan from the OC and Cath's rucksack is called Britney (and they both had badges of their namesakes on).

The flight to Boston was very quick (38 mins) and we then got the bus and tube to our hotel (The Copley Square Hotel) which cost us the grand sum of $2 each!

After checking in we decided to go and eat at the bar where the exterior of the TV show Cheers was filmed - we had potato skins for starters and Cath had a burger and I had a Chicken panini for mains - All washed down with a couple of Sam Adams lagers (which we got 'carded' for!). After that we had a little stroll round then got a taxi back to the hotel ready to go to bed as we have been up for 22 hours!

We first stopped off at a supermarket to buy some cereal for breakfast in the morning and some plastic plates - we really are living the dream!

Hi!

Thanks for looking at our blog. Catherine and I will try to update this as often as possible during our 3 month honeymoon, so keep checking back. We will also upload our photos too so that you can see how good we are finding the American cuisine!

The plan is to work our way up, down and across the USA in 3 months. We will start in Boston and hopefully end up in Seattle. The only thing that we have planned are our flights to and from America, 2 nights accommodation in Boston, 4 nights accommodation in New York and a 30 day Amtrak pass.

We have both listed 5 things we would like to do while we are away - see if you can guess who list is who's!

See some Baseball Games
Visit the Grand Canyon
Shoot some guns in the Vegas Desert
Go whale watching
Visit Cedar Point Theme Park

Round up cattle on a horse/Go horse riding
Go to a celeb hang out in LA
Go on a celeb bus tour in LA
Roller blade down Venice Beach
Do line dancing in Texas

Stay tuned for the next update!
