Mannequin makeovers

by Cellobella on Thursday, January 24, 2008

Otherwise entitled: “Only in Key West”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a range of …er …sizes. And on that note (omg can you believe that last pic?) can I direct your attention to the Ninth Carnival of Radical Feminists which has picked up one of my (not so radical) posts…

Where the bloody hell are we?

Phone Blogging

by Cellobella on Saturday, January 12, 2008

Groover quite rightly says that if he’d set me up blogging on his phone with wireless keypad before now he’d have never got me to bed. But the genie is now well and truly out of the bottle now and I sit here ensconsed at the little table in our roadside inn at a place [...]

The bitch in the machine

by Cellobella on Monday, January 7, 2008

I know it seems harsh but that is what we have taken to calling Miss Neverlost, the know-it-all voice from the GPS thingy in our hire car. Especially when she doesn’t have the roads we want to go to or takes us to some weird other road of the same name. We love it when [...]

Norfolk to Wilmington

by Cellobella on Saturday, January 5, 2008

Yesterday we got up bright and early, enjoyed our free breakfast and hit the road to enjoy a full day’s travelling. Not. In fact we slept in until breakfast had been cleared away and blearily made our way out to find a Dunkin Donut on our way to Kitty Hawk. We didn’t find one. Instead [...]

Atlantic City to Virginia Beach

by Cellobella on Friday, January 4, 2008

Well here we are in freezing Virginia. OMG it is SO COLD! Temperatures in the 20s which means minus 4-5 in real money. Last night we stayed at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. AC is like Las Vegas lite and the hotels attached to the casinos are cheap. 5 stars for about [...]

And we’re off!

The hire car has been picked up. The Road Trip USA and Lonely Planet Guides are on board and our destination tonight is Atlantic City. Hopefully. Blogging might be a bit less regular as it will depend on whether or not I can get regular or indeed any access to a computer while we’re on [...]

Leaving Goshen

by Cellobella on Wednesday, January 2, 2008

It snowed today. Really snowed. Big thick flakes floating down, covering the black ice beneath with a soft white duvet cover. It was beautiful. It was also a bit tricky getting out. The hire car, with no snow tires, slipped and slid and bogged down in the snow. Getting the suitcases up the very steep [...]

One in a million

by Cellobella on Wednesday, January 2, 2008

It was 7pm. Dark. Cold. And we’re snug in a cabin in snowy Goshen. So what do Groover, The Artist (my bro) and I decide to do for New Year’s Eve? Correct! We decide to jump in the car and drive into Times Square to watch the ball drop for the 100th time. Just three [...]

A little bit of housekeeping

by Cellobella on Wednesday, January 2, 2008

You might have noticed Hugamuga’s comment in the sidebar. That’s my son. Also known as The Orchid Hunter. However I’ve decided to adhere to his online preference and call him by his online handle. Hugamuga came from a friend of his in primary school – I’m not sure if this friend had looked up the [...]
