Can you Digget?

Just before we left the US for the last time in a while, we stopped by Allentown, home of the Butlers (that's the Butler family - not a refuge for domestic servants).

Although we didn't stop for long and managed to miss uncle Chris and only catch glimpses of Wills & Alice we did have a great time chatting with auntie Dig, playing with Bart the dog and getting all the essential things taken care of before we left (email, laundry, figuring out what we're going to be doing when we get to the UK).

Anyhow, we're now in New York, trying to figure out how to get the few remaining miles to the cruise ship terminal without paying the rest of our life savings in taxi fares. The way the economy's headed here the fare is most likely to be internal organs, solid European currency or Rolex watches - internal organs being our only option in that case and quite frankly I've grown quite attached to my liver...

So if all goes to plan and we don't repeat our San Luis Obispo Amtrak experience and get left behind, we'll be on a ship for the next week or so - meaning no blog updates, emails or facebook hilarity. I'm sure you'll all struggle through somehow...
