we are here

Matt: hola, we made it here safely on sunday night. no stress at heathrow, but we did get held up at US immigrarion. I was accused of holding a canadian passport and some other hawaiin crime, whilst jo had apparently been in trouble with US government. the weather here is relentless rain, which means we are mainly just eating and drinking.

Wing-watch 1: my first portion of chicken wings were at a restaurant in spanish harlem. good tenderness, but not spicy enough. 6/10

Joey: loving the food. shopping in new york with access to matt's life savings but no room left in my bag is torture!!! still hasn't sunk in that this is more than just a weeks holiday!

hope you're all well, stay in touch...

Jo & Matt.

Hiya guys,

Sounds like you're having a fab time! However I am slightly concerned to hear that its raining...will have to rethink my NYC wardrobe! All is well here - we are now enjoying a 90 degree heatwave! Only joking - its raining here too...

Looking forward to seeing you in Indianapolis. Its now less than 2 weeks and we are very excited!

Lots of Love,

Emily and Henry xxx

Damn those US immigration guys. When I last tried to get in I had to go an sit in the security room for three hours while they strip-searched a German guy and reduced an Indian couple to tears. All because they hadn't recorded the fact that I'd left the country 4 years previously!

Glad you got there OK.
