Coral Springs : Climbing over rusty metal.
Today was Halloween, and my first in America. I didn’t feel very scary when I drove down to the wreckers yard to pick up a spare wheel and some parts for Miriams car which had been canabalised by her mother. It was a complete waste of time, I ended up getting parts for a ’97 [...]

Coral Springs : Dammit Janet!
I found a cool place to hang out and did nothing all day but surf, drink coffee and send emails. I took Miriam out to a Karaoke bar at Boca Raton since she fancies herself as a bit of a singer but it wasn’t on that night. My plan of doing ‘Dammit Janet!’ from the [...]

Miami: Something stormy comes your way.
Taking the most random route I could I made my way back up to Miami beach, looking for a beach with a shower on the way and failing miserably. I was driving through some of the most expensive and exclusive property in the US and public facilities were just not there for hobos like me. [...]

Key West : Tonight you’re living in a fantasy, do you think Im a nasty girl?
It really rained all night this time, and then rained most of the morning. I couldn’t even take advantage of the free washing machines Still my neighbor had gone, I wonder how nice a night they had, I bet their tent leaked everywhere… I grudgingly paid my $46 (should have just thrown $20 at [...]

Florida : Hey Markey you’re in the keys
The keys are Florida’s holiday capital it seems and there are loads of them all connected by concrete bridges down to Key West where you are then only 90 miles from Cuba. The Weather was pretty crumby, here I was ready to get a tan and it rained on and off all day. I’m sure [...]

Florida: Mark and the Mechanics
Security or not I managed to get a good lie in, even sleeping on a raised platform in my minivan wouldn’t stop me from doing that. The back windows have privacy glass, which means they are quite dark, but not really dark enough. Maybe I would have to make some curtains… But later, I [...]

Florida : If Im in Florida why is it raining??
Thanks to the power of the Internet I found out holding down some buttons on the dash would put my van into a test mode and at least allow me to have cold air blowing so that was good. I also splurged $80 on a cooler in Walmart which was pretty big but seems to [...]

Titusville, Fl: We have lift off
When I woke up I was surrounded by cars and the fans were making a slight noise. My battery was dead but I had made it. The skies were slightly cloudy but it was sunny, warm, and looked pretty good to me. However Im not a rocket scientist! I said ‘hi’ to the 3 retirees [...]

I-95: The road goes ever on and on….
A usual I ignored my alarm clock that I set for 7am and got up about 10am which wasn’t too bad. I was still alone in the car park but there were a few more cars about. Luckily I didn’t get busted, but it would have been just another fine to ignore. Back on the [...]

New York : Tensing for the sprint south….
After the excitement of the previous night we weren’t up until late, Marie went out to buy a new phone while I lazed around. We went out for bagels in a cool little store nearby and decided what to do with the rest of the day. I wanted to go to a legendary camera store [...]
