Bye Bye Virgin Atlantic!
I can select my seat on Monday 72 hours before departure. I can see no reason after my return to have Virgin Atlantic as my preferred carrier. I have been a loyal economy passenger for nearly 30 years and have at one stage or another been in the frequent flyer programme or Virgin Holidays Loyalty Club. Since they changed to so many different ways to fly … Continue reading Bye Bye Virgin Atlantic!
New England 27 May – Freeport, ME
If you have heard of L.L Bean then you might know that they started in Freeport Maine. I think it should be renamed Beantown. This company dominate the whole town. There is an L.L Bean campus comprising of three different stores that are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I thought it was weird when I arrived the following morning at 08.30 … Continue reading New England 27 May – Freeport, ME
New England 26 May – Mount Washington
At over 6,200 ft Mount Washington is the highest peak in the White Mountains. Apparently where it is and with it’s height in the North East almost all weather patterns cross over it causing sudden changes in the weather. Mark Twain is quoted saying ‘if you don’t like the weather in New England now, then wait a few minutes!’ Not a truer word said. I … Continue reading New England 26 May – Mount Washington
New England 25 May – North Conway, NH
As I am so organised I set the GPS (Sat Nav) with favourites and set it for Moose thinking that it was taking me to the Spruce Moose Bed & Breakfast in North Conway. I travelled through stunning forests and lakes and had about 30 miles to go when I came across Settlers Green Outlet Village which I knew was in North Conway. I stopped … Continue reading New England 25 May – North Conway, NH
New England 24 May
Arrived bang on schedule at Boston Logan Airport. The views over the bay were amazing. I was in my car within an hour. It is the Memorial Day get away and the traffic was awful. Actually the roads are in need of some TLC as well, maybe it is the harsh winters that cause all the bumps. I am in Danvers which is 17 miles … Continue reading New England 24 May
New England 24 May – 31 May 2018
Virgin Atlantic wouldn’t let me check in online which was rather puzzling. I had to see a Virgin representative at the airport, was I going to be upgraded as a surprise thank you for being such a loyal subject over the years? No I had been selected for extra security checks. As I am currently through airport security in the shopping extravaganza that is in … Continue reading New England 24 May – 31 May 2018
USA – Public Holidays
In the UK in May we get two Bank Holidays, one on the first Monday for Labour Day and then another on the last Monday of May. There isn’t another until the end of August and that is it until Christmas! I will be in New England for Memorial Day and in Florida for American Labor Day in September but have visited on other holidays. It got … Continue reading USA – Public Holidays

The count down is on. I have done all my planning and research and this week I put the finishing touches on my latest road trip. Probably missing some ‘must not miss’ areas but feeling pretty pleased with the result. If you have read my earlier blog on planning in progress or Great Rail Journeys you will remember that I want to visit Mount Washington … Continue reading New England – Latest Road Trip 2018
American Sports – Go See It!
You all know which sports are exclusively American I assume. I speak of Baseball, American Gridiron Football, Basketball and Lacrosse. The latter I can’t speak about but I suspect it is an amateur sports. The others are in the life blood of American society. Those cities that don’t have a AFL or NFL team are graced with a college or state team. The stadia built … Continue reading American Sports – Go See It!

Outside of Europe namely France and Spain which are the still the most popular destinations for the UK market the next most popular is Florida. Visitors flock to the centre of Florida to make homage to the multiple theme parks and associated tourist attractions that have been set up to capture this constant flow of visitors.
