Early on the 28th September, we set off on our merry way. After a 4-hour stop in Toronto (where luckily they had Keiths on tap) we arrived in Thunder Bay to a heroes welcome from the Hosegoods. We spent some quality time with the family and got to meet the not-so-new addition Audrey, before heading on to Winnipeg to stay with Chris's mum, spending some more quality time there, and drinking bucketloads of luridly-coloured slurpee goodness.
Formalities dispensed with, and with Chris's sister Tessa in tow, we reached New York on Tuesday evening. We're staying right beside Times Square, and spent today wandering around the southern part of Manhatten. We've been on the Staten Island ferry and taken the mandatory pictures of the Statue of Liberty, random buildings we don't know anything about whilst bumping into people. We also saw the naked cowboy in Times Square, disappointingly he was wearing underpants in contravention of the trades descriptions act. Tomorrow we'd like to go to Central Park (if it doesn't rain) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
So far so good ...

Very good luck guys, have lots of fun and write often in the blog!
Hi guys, I am greatly enjoying hearing all about your travels, I get Mammie to read them out to me!
We hope your flight to Guatemala went well and that you have a great time travelling around that part of the world! I'll need to get Mammie to show me where it is on a map.
I have now got two teeth and have learned to crawl, so watch out!
Big hug from Dylan and his folks!
