Before being confined to the 'dusty corridors of Linklaters' as someone once put it, I have decided to escape for a while and travel round the States for 8 weeks.  I will be updating this journal as often as the world of wireless internet will let me so you can follow my progress and see where I go and what I get up to...

Hi Claire! Hey! Watta good idea - all a bit techno-nerd for me, but it's interesting so far! I loved Frisco (you can tell I know it well by the shortform)and we did look into moving there, but G would have had to be a professional of some kind - doc/dentist/milkman - so we didn't. Have a fab time. Try not to fall into the hands of hostage-takers 'cause you know nobody here will bail you out. Valxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Claire. We're glad you're back in civilisation after trecking the outback. Need to have from you a list of restaurant venues for Las Vegas 'cos we can't eat every night at the Bellagio! Have fun, be good and hit the 'banker's' credit cards when in New York! xx
