For those who may be following my exploits and my trip to South Florida, heres the latest update. Here we are at Manchester Airport.

We spent the night in the Raddison Hotel at Manchester Airport. After  an early start and  struggling with the ridiculously cumbersome cases……. bad back already…… we  are now having a "full English" at the airport. Flight leaves soon for Philadelphia and it's only 7 hours something, anyone visiting the States, I can fully recommend this way of accessing the US. Always a pleasant and comfortable experience, no hasstle, and flying with US Airways means that you are straight in to the US experience as soon as you start travelling…… and it's always the best price available. More from Philadelphia.
